Missing numbers on deer tags!!

[First-light]

Folks,

Check your license for missing numbers. Mine are missing on the DMP tag.

see below:

 

 

It has come to our attention that one or more of the carcass tags issued with your 2014-15 New York State hunting license and/or privileges contains only 8 digits, instead of the standard 12 digits normally associated with your licenses and tags.  Please be advised that if you should harvest a deer, bear or turkey with one of these tags, you will be asked to enter a 12 digit number into the game harvest reporting system.  In order to successfully report a harvest on one of these tags, please enter preceding zeros for the first four digits.  For example, if your carcass tag number is12345678, please enter 000012345678.  You may report a game harvest by phone at 866-426-3778 or online at http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/8316.html

 

If you have any questions on this matter or if you have any difficulty attempting to enter a game harvest, please feel free to contact our Deer Management Hotline at 866-472-4332 (Monday-Friday from 8:00AM – 4:00PM).  We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience caused by this issue.

 

I hope you have a safe and successful hunting season this fall.

Wow.......I know a guy who's license and back tag do not even have his name on it, just an address.

And thanks for saving us all that money with cheaper fees. I was able to get a McChicken with my savings, yes 1 whole McChicken but I did have to dig in my cup holder for the tax.

A friend of mine is missing one of his Bow/Mz tags.
