I need more than 3 doe tags for 2B. They give us that giant envelope and we can only apply for 3?? I'm pretty sure they can fit more than 3 tags in that envelope......

From the "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" department:
Sent 30 envelopes with 3 apps each for 5D. Sent 20 envelopes with 3 apps each for 5C. That's right, 150 tags, gonna be the "Boss Hog" of all the pigs this year.

Is anyone sure that you can only get three license per envelope? I know you can only send 3 applications per envelope but in the special regs area I only ever used one application to get as many licenses as I wanted.

With the dmaps, I have more tags than I'll use already. I doubt if I'll send for another.

I followed 4B tags last week. Monday thru Friday they were awarding about 150-200 a day. By Friday there was like, 1,100 left. Figgered I had a chance. Not!! First time in twenty years I won't have a doe tag for Perry county. :(
From: RC

I didn't get a doe tag either, so I'm gonna put the 6 bucks towards a bottle of Jack Daniels instead.
From: Bourbonator

Jack Daniels is for Sissys! Knob Creek Roy!

I got two tags and am going to send in for another one. Plenty of tags left in 1A. Most farmers will let you hunt if you ask. They want to know who's on their property.

I just checked- I put the pink envelope in the mail on Monday to Bucks county. Nothing awarded yet. I'm wondering if I forgot something...................
From: Phil Magistro
08-Aug-16
When I buy them over the counter here I fill out one form and get two licenses. I did the same and sent the application and check to Bucks. I marked 2 licenses in the bottom of the app and circled two on the envelope. They returned it saying I needed to add a second application.
From: Rut Nut
09-Aug-16
Yes, I remembered to fill out 2 applications. But I sent one check. Anybody know if you have to send 2 separate checks also???
I checked again and it apparently hasn't been processed or awarded yet.
From: Bob McArthur
09-Aug-16
Perry, read the direction that are in bold black print on the pink envelopes.
From: HerdManager
09-Aug-16
Checks cleared so here's what I have so far:
(1) 1A (1) 2A (3) 2B
Going to get 2 more for 2B. I have a feeling it's going to be a good year.......

LMFAO Bobby.

LOL! I did Bob. Still confusing. They need to automate this system and GET RID OF THESE STUPID PINK ENVELOPES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANd get the treasurers out of it! This is 2016!!!!!!!!!!! How many years has NY been doing this by COMPUTER at POINT OF SALE?
Well, I was awarded two 5C tags at 4:46 yesterday, so I guess everything was in order. Just took awhile to process.
From: RC
10-Aug-16
Well praise the Lord, Perry.
Ya got your doe tags..
LOL
I'm getting worried though, 2B only has 51656 left:)
From: Bowhunting 5C

Phil, one application = one tag. Simple, they have never done one application for multiples.
From: Bowhunting 5C
10-Aug-16
As a side note, for all of the procrastinators out there thinking "I will just get my 5D and 5C over the counter", better check that. Half the allotment for both are sold and it is still 12 days away from the 22nd.
From: Phil Magistro
10-Aug-16
John, I'm not sure who "they" is but I can tell you from my experience that you are wrong. I have walked into the treasurer's office here in Reading at least three years and have bought two tags while filling out only one application. The first year the lady took the application and asked me how many tags I wanted. After that I just told them. Maybe they made a photocopy after I left. Maybe they made a mistake in doing that but I haven't filled out two applications until this year to get them by mail.
From: Rut Nut
11-Aug-16
John,
5C is selling out much quicker than that. Only 23,063 tags left out of 70,000. I predicted they would sell out before going over the counter this year. Looks like I might be right.
From: Rut Nut
11-Aug-16
UPDATE: as of 12:45pm there were 21,776 left. At this rate they may be SOLD OUT by next week!
From: Bowhunting 5C
11-Aug-16
Phil, you should thank the girls in that office, they were doing you a very large favor. Having stood in enormous lines in Montgomery County, I can tell you what the rules are now, if she copies it for you, they must be very bored or have a little twinkle for ya. However at the court houses I have visited, one application, one tag.

I got two for 2A
I'm allowed to transfer my doe tags to a mentored youth correct??
From: Bowhunting 5C

5C is down to 18,700 going into the weekend. Sold at a rate of more than 2500 a day plus. Get them in if you want one.
From: Rut Nut
15-Aug-16
Yep down to 18,600 at 8am. At this rate they won't last the week.

Got my 2-D tag on Saturday.
From: Phil Magistro
15-Aug-16
15,600 at 4:30 this afternoon. I had two awarded this morning. Can't make the 5C hunt so I'll miss out on some of the better properties. I normally hunt the SGL there and it's very hit or miss. Have to look into new properties.

I better hurry up and buy my license. 2B only has 49770 left.

Wow Bob. 19 in one day? Mine have been arriving in smaller batches like these. Maybe my jackpot will be tomorrow.
From: Bowhunting 5C

That's why they call it "Special Reg's" areas... Lot's of doe to chase, and a few good bucks.
That is a lot of red envelopes... Remember, shoot more doe, see more bucks.
From: Stekewood
16-Aug-16
You're right stick. We are fortunate to be able to get so many tags in the special regs. More importantly, there are more than enough tags for everyone to get as many as they want if it is important to them. That is a bummer that you can't get a second tag for your property.
From: Bob McArthur

Truth be told, I'm no pig. I have three 5C tags and four 5D tags. I was just makning a point.
From: Stekewood

How many tags must one buy to reach pig status? 8?
From: RC

For what it's worth Stekewood. Bob lives in the SE where there are way too many deer. Bob and several other guys in that area donate the majority of the deer they harvest to the food bank or hunters sharing the harvest program!!!
From: Bob McArthur
17-Aug-16
I'm thinking anything more than 12 is where Pig Status starts. Twenty or more will get you into the Hog Status.
From: Stekewood
17-Aug-16
I'm down here too RC and I made Hog! :-)
From: Bob McArthur
17-Aug-16
That's nice. I'm sure you won't fill them all...but you got that Hog Status going for you.
From: RC
17-Aug-16
Yes you did.
From: Stekewood
17-Aug-16
I sure hope I don't fill them all. That would mean my season would be over before the final bell. Hope to have one left as the sun sets on the last day but I'll burn it an hour before if I can. :-)

I have gone a few seasons filling double digit tags, before they cleaned out Valley Forge. The areas around there were just choked full of doe. Not too many buck, but doe in herds you could not describe unless you seen them... However, donating to the Hunters sharing the harvest has been great over the years..
Shoot more doe see more buck..

Gaining access to hunt private property is easy, most hunters don't even ask & those that do, most stop at the first "No" they receive.

Hello Phil: )
From: Bowhunting 5C

PALongbow, that is only one part of it. There is still a lot of farms and people that hunt those farms or parcels have agreements that they must keep the doe harvest numbers up or loose that spot. It is not always about yellow signs but also about taking doe. And as a side note, in 5C there also is a lot more roads and the idea is to keep deer off those roads and not in front of a yuppies BMW. Lyme disease is also a topic in 5C. One of the places near where I hunt the three out of 4 people who live in that home have had lyme disease twice. And they have a ton of deer going through their back yard. They used to curse at me when they would see me go in, now they stop to ask what the count is up to.
