the blur Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'm not a bow hunter, but thought about it once or twice. I just found out you need to pay an extra $10 to bow hunt.. I know you need to take the class, but I didn't know it was an extra fee on your license.................. and also Muzzle. You need to pay $10 to extent your season 1 week. I thought all this was included with your regular season hunting..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKhunter Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Nope separate tags. I think its worth it. You get to extend your season, and get additional tags and add more meat to the freezer. I actually prefer hunting with the bow and muzzle loader, but still hunt with the rifle to switch it up a little. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtTime Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Not really much different then buying a DMP, the cost is the same. $10 to another legal deer to your possibilities. You get more then a week with the ML, isn't it two with early and late seasons? Bow you get just shy of two months extra time in the woods. Worth the money in my book.

jjb4900 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 well worth the money... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 For $10 you get more than six weeks of hunting, an extra tag and warmer weather and the rut to hunt. That is a LOT for $10! Heck, I'd pay double that! But don't tell Andy Cuomo........ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoneam2006 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Right worth the money even at 30 bucks just didn't want op to go to Walmart thinking 10 bucksSent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtTime Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 They did drop the prices last season if I remember right. Three years ago when I first got back into hunting the small game license was still separate and I didn't bother with it only having a bow. I think the price you mentioned that year for my bow tag was right $19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneam2006 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yea the lowered it... with every tag purchased separately I saved 1 whole dollar. Thanks Cuomo. FUACSent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Real_TCIII Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 For the price of a couple rounds of golf we get to hunt and fish for a year, I would gladly pay more. But only if they could guarantee the money would go to conservation and not get robbed by some politician 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 We all just love paying extra fees don't we? Why is there not just one license that allows you to hunt? Seriously, I don't mind fees if they can show additional costs because of the additional activity. But what is the additional cost for muzzleloading or bowhunting or whatever. I see it only as more bookwork and expenses involves in all the separate tracking. What ever happened to making government agencies justify fees. Nobody cares to make these people financially responsible and accountable? Maybe they have numbers and whatnot that show that it is cheaper to break all these variations into separate entities and individual tracking and paperwork. But seriously, I would like to see it before ridiculing those that wonder about separate fees - no matter what the size. Just because it has always been done that way doesn't mean it is the "smart" way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the state had anybody with half a brain working ,they could look at numbers from the different stamps sold and figure who is hunting what and with what Instruments. Besides that ,why should a guy that only hunts gun have to pay more to incluse a bow stamp that he does this use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampy Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 For the price of one day skiing or a dinner and a movie with the wife, we get to hunt for months and fish all year! Yeah, I'd say the tags are money well spent! And if all the money was spent on conservation projects or to help new hunters get started, I'd have no problem spending more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the blur Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 I didn't know you need your bow education # on file with the DEC. It's not like you can just add on bow without taking the class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pay an extra fee to hunt during the early bow season, but you can always hunt with a bow during the regular season for free. Also, in some areas, regular season is actually, also early season. So you'll be able to hunt Oct first with the bow, at no extra charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you really pay to have the extra tag as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be that the simplification would actually be less for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philoshop Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I seem to recall reading somewhere that hunting licenses in parts of Europe were around $600 a year, and then you had to pay landowners for access to their property, and a fee just to own a firearm on top of that. Complaining about a $15 or $20 dollar fee, no matter where the money goes, seems kind of silly. Vote wisely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
