These Changes In Place For New York State Hunters

The 2024 whitetail archery season is about to start and across New York State, hunters will be seeing a few changes to the laws and the way the tags and licenses are issued.

The weather has been rather mild to start the fall here in New York State. The calendar may say that it is fall, but the weather is more like August! But the cooler nights are starting to come in and the leaves are dropping in much of the state. For deer hunters, this is the best part of the year!

When you buy a license this year, or receive your tags, you will notice that they are now paper as opposed to plastic material we have gotten used to.

As the leaves start to change and the weather gets crisp, those of us who love to bow hunt can't wait for October 1st! But after you get your license, get the camouflage clothes ready and do your scouting, there are some things to remember.

I have been looking forward to this season for a few months. I have been hunting since I was 14 years old and LOVE hunting with my bow. I find that I see more deer when I archery hunt than when I hunt during the regular season. There is nothing better than a cool and quiet fall day in the woods and going undetected around deer.

Best of luck this season! There seems to be an incredible amount of deer around and many of the hunters that I have spoken with say that they have gotten at least one and many have gotten two doe permits!
