How many Bucks Allowed in NYS?

[Geno C]

thought bow and ms ldr tag  was the same, if you fill the buck tag with bow then you cant take one in muz ldr? also 1 buck tag for regular season.

i can shoot 5 bucks a year if i wanted to... special permits i get... unlimited doe tags also here on the island.

well I don't know about the other WMU's but hte 8C is an archery only area and there are monsters wandering around in there. It is very residential for a lot of it and there are tons of areas that are too small to get proper distance to dwellings...but big enough to allow for them to mature. A lot of the area is poke one and hope it doesn't run out and fall on a kid on the swing set in their back yard type hunting.

If that was my yard it happened in there would be a hell of a comotion when the kids found it on their swing set... like when my son shot a chipmunk with his bow last fall. haha I know he would stick one of his arrows in it and claim it for his own! Oh and my Daughter would be trying to ride it like a pony, or poking it with a stick saying she peek a booed it, I know we are a crazy bowhunter family. This is what happens when we get one. hahaha

LOL...I was just trying to illustrate how tight a lot of 8C is.....but you visuals are stuck in my head now...lol

[16. ga hunter]

know what 8c is like i work in it its too bad you can't hunt in kodak park.....

[G-Man]

Anyone know any statistics on how many people actually take 2 buck a year?(not bonus dmp's just regular tags) I've seen the archery sucess rate is about 16% but that is for all deer. So i know a lot of people want ny to reduce to 1 buck any method, i just don't see 2 buck as being a huge problem.... jmo

[Doewhacker]

5%  Which is a few thousand each year.

My office looks out into a portion of Kodak Park.....Every day I get to see what is running around in there :'( :'( :'(

Not sure I would eat anything out of there but there are some of the biggest bucks I have seen in my life in there

whos complaing about one thing and doing another???

[G-Man]

so a few thousand each year not really a big problem hurting the buck population then is it.....at least not as big as it would be if more people started killing more deer.... and reporting them.

My office is right down the road from yours, I go by there all the time wondering whats running around in there.

[G-Man]

I thought you  hunt kodak park by special permit?

[Culvercreek hunt club]

I could bow hunt right out the window and over the fence....but I don't....I think their security does though...funny how the biggest ones start to disappear as the season starts.

I often wonder how many "wives" take a buck to get a buck and then the old man's tag is used if a good one comes by.

[Geno C]

^^ heard of that also... not legal but its still a valid tag being punched its not an extra or special tag per say...

My gut just tells me there may be a lot more 2 buck guys than we think...based on reporting

I can remember when I first started deer hunting, some 30 years ago.  The DMP application needed 2-4 hunters per party permit.  At that time we had my mother get her license just so we could use her DMP stub on the application just to try and get a party permit.

We never used her license to actually fill a tag in her name.  It was worth spending, I believe back then, the $8 for her big game license just for the party permit.

I remember the party permits i seem to remember when they did away with that the number of licences fell as well...
