DEC will issue about 5,000 additional deer management permits to hunters across the state

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced that approximately 5,000 Deer Management Permits (DMPs) will be issued to hunters who were previously denied permits during the initial application period earlier this fall. Leftover DMPs will also be available in several Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) beginning Nov. 1.

Deer Management Permits, which allow hunters to harvest antlerless deer, are issued for specific WMUs to control deer populations. In order to provide DMPs at point-of-sale locations, DEC must anticipate the number of applicants in each WMU and assign a probability to each unit so that the appropriate number of permits are issued. In several WMUs, DEC received fewer permit applications than projected.

To issue the remaining DMPs, DEC randomly selects applicants who were previously denied permits in these affected units during the initial application period. DEC will be completing the selection and automatically begin mailing permits within the next week.

Applicants from the following WMUs may receive DMPs (the approximate number of permits to be mailed is in parenthesis):

- 3C (580), 3G (240), 3K (70)

- 4B (100), 4C (40), 4K (10), 4P (440), 4R (215), 4Y (60)

- 6K (260)

- 7A (1,260), 7M (90), 7P (590), 7S (250)

- 8T (160), 8W (410)

-9S (200)

(For WMU locations, check the 2010-11 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Guide or go to the DEC Web site.)

Hunters not selected for a DMP will not receive a mailing from DEC. Selection for one of these permits will not affect any preference points issued to hunters who were not selected for their first choice area during the original application period.

Additionally, in some WMUs, all applicants received permits during the initial application process, but the DMP target was still not reached. In these units, DEC will reopen the DMP application process on a first-come, first-served basis. Hunters may apply for leftover DMPs at any DEC license sales outlet beginning Nov. 1. Leftover DMPs will not be available by phone, by mail or via the internet. Applicants who previously paid the $10 DMP application fee or are exempt from the application fee will not be charged for this additional application.

Applications for leftover DMPs will be accepted for the following WMUs: 1C, 3M, 3R, 3S (bowhunting-only), 8A, 8F, 8G, 8H, 8J, 9A, and 9F

During this extended application period, DEC will issue DMPs for an individual WMU all day. The status of permits will be reviewed daily, and any filled units will be removed from the list of those available with no further applications accepted for those units. A list of units with available leftover DMPs is available on the DEC Web site.
