8/10/2020
$10.00
Receipt
Deer Management Permit - Instant
x1
$10.00

That is the normal price, but in the past lifetime licenses came with free dmp's. My father and uncle don't pay for them. When I purchased mine, I got the free lifetime fishing license but not dmp's.

I’m actually excited about hunting season this year. That DMP tag in 9p is a game changer for me this year. Venison on the smoker.

If you did it online,,, I thought the same but if you look at the total of what they charged and then added your shit together, then you should see that they charged you.

Yes. You should have received a detailed receipt via email if purchased online. Your total should have been $57.00

I was a little pissed When they did away with the sportsmans license a couple of years ago. The DMP tags were free. That was the Only way I purchased my hunting license for more than 25 years.

I remember a time when there were few deer here, 1970's and 80's, and I was lucky to get a doe permit every 3 years. Now it's at least 1 every year, sometimes 2.

I'm dating myself here but I remember "Doe Day". Last day of the season you could take buck or doe, until then it was buck only.

Then they went to "Party Permits". You needed to be part of a "party" of X# of hunters, my area (Livingston county at the time) was 4 in the party. The entire party got 1 doe permit and an armband that 1 hunter could wear. That hunter only could take a doe.

You talk about dead people voting. I know a lot of bed-ridden or wheelchair-bound elders who got their deer every year. And they got the first ones, too.

Hmmm. I don't remember the DMP tags ever being free, but I gave up on the Sportsman cuz I could care less about fishing. I do remember mailing in the $10 checks. If you didn't get a DMP, you got a $10 refund check in the mail with a preference point for next year.

I hear ya tho. It was supposedly a big money saver to reduce hunting (small and big game combined) to $22. Big fat hairy deal.

Ima check my old licenses. I have them all back to 1981. Although it might not do me any good, since the DMP was a whole different application.

I remember that. Permits were so scarce hear 4 ppl had to apply on the same permit.

 

[tapper3]

^^^^^^ The good old days, in a way. Back then the county had a bounty of $5 on foxes. Cut the tail off and take it to the Sheriff's department and get the bounty. That would buy me 3 boxes of .22LR for woodchucks.

I don’t believe that they started out free when the sportsmans license first cam out, but over time due To some bitching and grumbling at the DEC meetings held at the fairgrounds they did become free , only when you purchased the sportsman license. If you just purchased the big game small game combo the DMP tag remained a $10 fee

 

[BDinPutnam]

Hell, the first one should be free.

We've got at least nine does including fawns plus at least three bucks in my hood right now.

Honestly, don't remember. Which kinda bugs me.

Hey, if you're old enough to remember party permits then you're old enough to begin NOT remembering some things. LOL. Don't let it bug ya. When you can't remember why you're standing in the bathroom.......... then it can bug ya.

I bought my lifetime when they got rid of the sportsman. I still regret not making a lifetime license my first "adult" purchase after the Army.

Yeh, kinda wish all those years ago I did the same. Now in 10 years if I make it, I'm looking forward to the $5 Hunting license and Free Bowhunting and Free Muzzleloading.

 

[Airborneguy]

Doe permits are definitely free for some "grandfathered" lifetime holders. I submit my father's every year because he's a computer boob. It's free. I believe he bought the lifetime around '99. I vaguely remember him telling me to do it with him and my response was, "I'm never coming back."

I wish that came true. As it stands I have like 12 years left before my "investment" pays off. It will come sooner if I move out of state.

 

[Saltwater60]

Thing that kissed me off is they forced me to buy the $5.00 habitat stamp. I do t remember ever having to do that. Just annoying.

How? It's voluntary.

Question about DMP's

I'm having a tough time finding the rules for use of a DMP under a "used" bow/muzz stamp.

If I have an Archery stamp, and decide to take an antlered deer during Archery season, am I still allowed to use my DMP during Archery season, or have I lost that opportunity since I filled the Archery stamp?

Expanding that to a crossbow, of which a big game license and muzz stamp can cover you from the second half of Archery season through the end of Muzz season, what if I also have DMPs to fill?

With a crossbow, if I take an antlered deer in late Archery season, which fills the Muzz stamp, am I precluded from filling one or more DMPs during the remainder of the Archery season and the entire Muzz season? Must I now use any/all DMPs during the regular season only? Following this logic, I expect I'd need to fill the DMPs first, then look for antlers under the big game license. Is that correct?

A DMP can be used in any season for deer, Early, Regular and Late. If you buy the Bowhunting privilege you can Bowhunt with DMP throughout that season. You're buying the privilege to HUNT that season with appropriate gear, and any valid tag that can be used during that season is a legitimate reason to be out there.
Ditto crossbow season. Ditto Regular Season. Ditto Muzzleloading season. Don't forget that in Late Muzzleloader, Crossbow and Bow your unused Regular season tag can be used as an Antlered or Antlerless tag as well.

I always got the super sportsman, and DMPs were free with it. I locked in the lifetime with that right before the price increase and the elimination of the super sportsman, and my DMPs got locked in at free as well.

 

[SmallGameAddict]

I'm thinking I do vaguely remember that free DMP if you bought Sportsman. It would have been my sole motivation to purchase a Sportsman cuz I don't like fishing.

 

[camper4lyfe]

Got my DMP's. Still waiting on my license to arrive though. I have a lifetime.

I'm still waiting for my license to arrive as well. I had to double check my registered address (I've moved a couple times over the past year) to make sure they didn't land somewhere else. With the lifetime, as long as it shows up before deer season, it's more of a formality than anything else, since I have the plastic card as well as the HuntFishNY app.

You can update your DEC account info using that app too. Change of address, add Hunter education certs etc.
