Hi folks, just joined and found this to be an interesting post (well, maybe not the bodily functions parts). I'm surprised at the number of folks that think it's ok for the DEC to propose a 66% reduction in the harvest tag count. Some of us are actually good enough to fill those tags, and this would be a huge impact to my hunting season. Also, it looks like their's a presumption is that the DEC will "make up" for the lost bow/muzzleloader tags with DMPs..there's nothing in this document that suggest that will be the case. At least in my case, I'd like to have a tag that goes with the license I purchase, otherwise I'm going to have to wait and see if I get a DMP before I buy a Bow or ML tag. Right now I happily buy the Super Sportsman license, and under the new plan if I didn't get a DMP that would mean these DEC folks who are counting on my dollars to cover their salaries will be seeing ~50% less from me each year.
