bow/ml tags

[Dan92]

can i still use my tags for either sex and antlerless for regular season? they say bow/ml on them so i just want to make sure

I don't know about down state seasons, but here, once regular season opens up, you can only use DMPs and regular tags. The Bow/MZ can be used in the late season in the SZ...as can the regular tag and DMPs.

[Elmo]

No you cannot. Scroll 2 pages down and look under the section "Deer Tag Types and Privileges"

No you cannot. Bow/ml tags are for bow/ml only. Dmps can be used whenever. Regular season buck tag can be used during regular season or the late bow/ml.

[Five Seasons]

no. but you can use regular for late season.

Who would need doe tags then, if we could use the bow/ml tag during the regular season?? Everything would be shot up and I doubt there would be anything left!

No, you can't. But you still got a couple of hours! Stop looking down at your phone and look at the buck 30 yards away from you! SHOOT!

If you are going to LWood, you better get there by like 4-5am for a spot. There are only 2-3 spots, I heard it fills up quick. I never hunted it opening weekend.

[Dan92]

was going to get there around 5.. ive found a bunch of good spots though.. only thing is im sure im not the only one who has found them :/... i need to find someone with land i can hunt on

You should hunt dark to dark tomorrow. A lot of guys will leave the woods at around 10-11am and they will kick deer up for sure. Then 2-3pm hunters will come back and again kick deer up. Definitely stay still and quiet all day long. I'll be hunting dark to dark saturday and sunday less than 10 miles away from you.

you hunting bow or bringing out a gun?

[BizCT]

I don't bowhunt. Shotgun during gun season. Crossbow during late ml/bow season.

[WNYBuckHunter]

no. but you can use regular for late season.

And its an either sex in late season.

[Dan92]

what if i hunt westchester county though during regular season.. its bow only in that county, so would i be able to use my bow/mz tags?

[WNYBuckHunter]

Actually you can in the regular season in Westchester. Its right in the regs elmo posted a link to.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Also your regular season tag is an either sex in westchester and suffolk during the regular season too

[Dan92]

[Chef]
