DEC recently adopted deer\u00a0hunting\u00a0regulation changes to reduce impacts to habitat and benefit deer health and the public by increasing the availability of Deer Management Permits, expanding the September antlerless season, and creating the Earn-a-2nd-Buck tag system to encourage hunters to Choose a Doe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Deer management permits are also available. New this year, hunters can apply for up to four antlerless-deer permits, including two in areas with limited availability and two in areas where permits are unlimited.<\/p>\n Applications for limited permits are open through Oct. 1.<\/p>\n When buying a license, applicants should have complete contact information: a DEC customer ID number if applicable, a driver\u2019s license or non-driver\u2019s ID with a valid state address, a valid credit card if buying one over the phone or online, and proof of hunter or trapper education certification or a copy of a previous license. <\/p>\n For more information on licenses, click here<\/a>. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor Related Stories:\u00a0deer hunting<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0DEC<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK \u2014 New York\u2019s 2026-27 hunting and trapping licenses are now on sale.
