Deer Season date and tag release info?

[buckchaser]

I have not been able to find any information related to the dates of the NY deer season this fall.  Specifically, I am interested in the Northern rifle hunt.  A bit of calendar work suggests it will end on Sunday December 4th (based on previous years), but I can't find any confirmation of that.

Also, as a non-resident I buy my deer license online.  When I logged into the DEC site the option to purchase a hunting license was not open.  Does anyone know when this option becomes available?  Last year (first year hunting in NY) I purchased my tag in August with no issues once I had my DEC ID number.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

The number of tags you get is determined by the WMU you hunt. Every one gets one buck tag for archery and another for rifle season. After that the number of doe tags can be anywhere from 0-4 or even unlimited depending where you hunt.

licenses usually go on sale in early August, probably by the end of the second week or so.
