Teenage Hunters Will Want To Check This Out

The D.E.C. says they have created a new opportunity for youth hunters. Officials say that the DEC will issue a bonus regular season tag to youth hunters (ages 12-15) who successfully take and report a deer taken during a Youth Big Game Hunt weekend with their regular season tag and who do not possess a Deer Management Permit for the regular firearms season. The bonus regular season tag will be valid for a deer of the sex opposite from what was harvested during the youth hunt – such as the harvest of an antlered deer during the Youth Deer Hunt would yield an antlerless-only bonus tag for the regular season). DEC will mail this tag to the eligible hunters.
