Can I switch my tag or am I out of luck?

[regulat0r]

I drew a DMP for the area I live, 3M. I took a doe on opening day and mistakenly used my regular tag on her. I also shot a buck this morning so my only bow tag left is the 3M DMP tag I drew. I mistakenly used my regular tag on my doe instead on the DMP i had intended to. I planned on hunting my property upstate for the remainder of bow season but now realize I cannot bc I only have the DMP for 3M. If I call the DMP hotline on the DEC site and explain the situation, AND show them my already filled out tag, do you think they will give me another tag or am I out of luck?

He used his antlerless in 3M instead of his 3M DMP. So now he can't go to a different WMU.

Phewwww, thank you for clarifying that for others.

[fasteddie]

Yeah , I feel your pain . You have gotten 2 deer so far and now can't hunt upstate because you have no tag for that area . ( Sorry , the devil made me post that ) . 

[BUCKANDAQUARTER]

Hey, I do what I can. It's a gift, really. No need to thank me.

Break out the the video camera for friends and family.....or sit back and relax until gun opener.

I use the carpenters rule when getting out my tag and pen.."measure twice cut once"...Just read twice...fill out once"...

[Chris B]

It can't hurt to call and explain and see what happens. Worse case they say you are SOL, then you are in the same boat as you are right now

[BBDEric]

Won't happen. They have no way to know where the deer was shot and now you want to let pick the area you shot the deer. Sorry.

[G-Man]

Nope and they will prolly find an error in filling out tag and give you a ticket or at worse take the deer

So let me get this straight you killed a doe and put it on your ether sex tag “by mistake “. Putting the doe on the ether sex tag is ok. But now you killed a buck and you have no tag for it. First it’s up to you to keep track of your tags. Your next problem is both deer weren’t killed on the same day. I would call the DEC and explain your mistake to them. At best you will get a good dressing down and loose the deer at worse you will get a good dressing down loose the deer and get a ticket. But by manning up to your mistake will go a long way in if you have to pay a fine and how much that fine will be.

What are these tags that you speak of?

Haha

NO, Doe killed in 3M(used antlerless bow/ML tag), Buck killed(used either sex tag), he now wants to leave WMU 3M and hunt but only has a 3M dmp. So he wants to switch out the antlerless tag on the doe for the 3M dmp to put that antlerless bow/ML tag back in his pocket.

Doubt it will fly with DEC, but can't hurt to try.

Couldn't you just go buy a muzzle loader tag, and use that during the rest of archery? 

 

They are the same tag right?

Where did you get all this from. Buck??  Where was there talk of a buck?  He shot a doe and put his either sex muzzy/Bow tag on it instead of his doe tag for that area and now he cant hunt a different area of Ny with his either sex muzzy/bow tag.   I Think. lol

[greensider]

if you called it in you may vary well be hearing from the dec

Um, the red text below is where the buck talk came from.

 

I drew a DMP for the area I live, 3M. I took a doe on opening day and mistakenly used my regular tag on her. I also shot a buck this morning so my only bow tag left is the 3M DMP tag I drew. I mistakenly used my regular tag on my doe instead on the DMP i had intended to.

I doubt you will get a new tag, you are responsible for using the right tags on the right deer.

Why? Not sure how he could call in unless he put the Doe permit on it...lol
