Deer Management Permits Application Deadline is October 1
Table of DMP Targets and Chances of DMP Selection for Residents and Non-Residents (PDF)
This fall, DEC is increasing the statewide allocation of Deer Management Permits (DMPs) in hopes that hunters will respond by increasing the antlerless deer harvest by about 10%. See DMP Availability and Probability of Selection to review DEC's target allocation of DMPs for each WMU and to anticipate your odds of being selected for a tag. There's no need to rush out to be first in line for a DMP, though. Your chances of obtaining a DMP remain the same throughout the entire application period. Just be sure to apply for a DMP before the October 1 deadline. For questions, call the DMP Hotline (1-866-472-4332) or read about the DMP application process.
