How many deer can you shoot in a season?
New York
Contributors to this thread:
There is potential that my wife and I could move to New York most likely near Glens Falls. Of course the first thing I did was check out hunting potential. I checked the NY DNR website and it is not exactly clear when archery season is and how many deer you can shoot. Can anyone help me with this?
Also, overall, how is the hunting in this part of the state?
Thanks, Andy

This link is for hunting seasons.
AS far as Tags go, you will get 1 regular season tag good statewide for antlered deer. 1 either sex for Archery, if you also get muzzleloader privilege, you will get another tag for antlerless only. These are also good for the whole state. The DMP are for does, or anything less than 3" antlers. There is a draw odds on these. Some wmu's are very hard to get, and then there are others that you will always get. 1st draw for dmp's is from Aug - Sept 30th. Then there is a limited second draw for some WMU's in Nov. Here is a link to that the WMU's & Draw Odd's.

I can't speak for the hunting in the area, as I have never hunted there.
Hope this helps.
I can put 5 in the box if I'm lucky enough.
Im content with 2 to be honest. Its only me, my dog and my wife at the moment so any more than 2 is just going to sit in the freezer for too long.
If you buy all the licences and you get to DMP for doe or antlered deer less then 3 inches you end up with 5 tags. You get a Either sex for archery and if you buy muzzleloader you also get a doe tag and both are good anywhere in the state for either archery or smoke pole. You also get a regular season buck tag for rifle shot gun areas and the cool thing about it is it becomes good for a second buck if you have not filled it yet with bow during Muzzleloader season. The DMP's are zone specific so if you fill them all you can get 5 deer a year to include 2 bucks. Also in NY you can transfer DMP permits to another hunter so if your friends or family still has DMP's they can sign them over to you and I cant remember it is either a limit of 2 or 4 that caqn be assigned to you. In some zones they keep selling left over tags over the counter and you can buy as many as you want.
Yup, buy al the privileges and you will can take 3. If rings go well, you may receive 1 or 2 more antler less tags.
Some farmers get permits to slaughter them all summer. I don't like that, but its their right.
