Long Island Bow Guys Inside--- question

[Geno C]

I have a question, i usually get a super sportsman every year and i always get my doe tag for 8W and also the island. Well i think she put both tries in 8W and i received 1 DMP in 8W and nothing in LI. I think she goofed.

Is there a way for me to get a doe tag for the island still? getting info isnt exactly easy from DEC... i know you get an either sex tag but say if fill that with a buck would they give me a doe tag at the check station? i know when you harvest a doe and you bring the head to the check station they will give you another doe tag to fill.

any help guys would be greatly appreciated! the one guy was out of the office when i called and ridge only opens thurs, sun and tues.

thanks!

You could wait to November also and see if there are extra tags in your WMU.

I experienced a similar problem, however I purchased my license on line during the first year that DECALS was implemented. I called the DEC directly and explained the situation to them. They were very helpful and issued to me my second permit.

On the other hand, the second permit is a lottery selection also. It is quite possible that you were unlucky. Long Island tags are very popular these days.

In any event, there is no need to go to the Ridge Check Station, you will be wasting your time. Perhaps, you should ask the agent who sold you your license call the DEC on your cell phone and admit the mistake.

Good Luck

i called the DEC and spoke to someone, but the day i called, the person who can help me out was on vaca that day... the guy i spoke to informed me there should have been no issue with getting a DMP in 1C. i just think the girl with the lisence goofedup and put both of my tries in the wrong WMU...

I believe 1C DMP's are there for the asking. Go back and try again.
