Leftover DMPs available beginning November 1; Bonus permits also available

Leftover DMPs

In some Wildlife Management Units (WMUs), we issued Deer Management Permits (DMPs) to all applicants during the initial application period, but the DMP target was still not reached. In these units, we will re-open the application process for leftover DMPs beginning tomorrow, November 1, 2011. Leftover DMPs are available for the following Wildlife Management Units (WMUs): 1C, 3M, 3R, 3S, 7H, 8A, 8F, 8G, 8H, 8J, 8N, 9A, and 9F.

• Hunters may apply for up to 2 additional DMPs in these WMUs.
  
• Applications are accepted at license issuing outlets only. You cannot apply by phone, mail or on-line.
  
• DMPs are issued on a first-come / first-serve basis until the desired target is reached in each unit.
  
• See www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/6399.html for additional details.
  

Bonus DMPs

Also, DEC continues to offer Bonus DMPs to successful hunters in WMUs 1C, 3S, 4J, and 8C. New this year, DEC will also be offering Bonus DMPs in WMU 9A.

• Bonus DMPs are available to hunters who take an antlerless deer on a Deer Management Permit (DMP) or a Bonus DMP in one of these units.
  
• To participate, hunters must visit a check station to confirm kill of an antlerless deer and properly filled out DMP.
  
• See www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/10001.html for check station information and more details about the Bonus Permit program.
