They say that, however with a new surplus of hunters zones could fill up faster than anticipated. I know speaking on pa, where doe tags are first come first serve, they are FLYING off the shelf compared to last year.

They use a system in ny that doesn't give out all the permits anyway, lot get mailed as the system doesn't know how many hunters apply.

Got my tags today.  I finally got a 7p tag again. I'll be taking my daughter soon to see if she can get another doe tag.

My wife’s tags came in the mail today but mine didn’t even though I ordered 5 minutes later. 7p and 7s. You bet I had her sign over the 7p already lol.

I ordered mine, didn’t get a DMP, didn’t apply for a landowner DMP either…assuming it’s coming in the mail I been down on the shore the last two weeks.
Not even sure I will have time to hunt in NY this year..

Got my tags today. I always thought there was a bow tag  (for buck) and the either sex for Bow/Muzzy. I have the the either sex tag thats it. I can be confused. Maybe not.

The either sex tag is for buck during bow 

If you buy the ML license then you get an antlerless tag also.

If you plan to use crossbow then you have to buy the ML permit

I guess I didn't buy my muzzleloader tag. Have bow tag. So that either sex bow/muzzy can be used in muzzy but I only can use a bow to shoot the deer? As the season goes on and I can get back up I'll go buy it, thought I did.

Technically when you are buying an additional hunting privilege when you buy a bow or ML license. The first special privilege you buy (regardless of which one)  gets you an either sex tag.  The second one you buy get you an antlerless only. If you buy both the tags are available to be used with either implement in either special season

NO. it can only be used during the Archery season and with a bow. (those seasons may or may not overlap depending on the areas)

Don;t they allow bow during muzzy season. I can remember doing that years ago before I bought a muzzleloader.

If you are only hunting in the SZ the seasons over lap. BUT in NZ there are areas that are antler only during the special seasons and a blanket statement could cause some legal difficulties.

Just checked bow can be used late season 13th-21st......26th-1st

in the SZ...I agree.

I really try to encourage folks (especially in our Field to Fork program) to read the regs, understand the seasons and regs for the areas you are going into and know what the tags really are for that you have in your pocket before you go out. They can be kind of confusing but I hate to use blanket statements about seasons, implements or tags becasue they can have nuanced differences across the state (especially down by the Peoples Republic of NYC...lol)

Yes that is correct. I can hunt out east L.I. and use my unused tags from certain seasons.
