The Royalton town office will be open this Saturday, November 1st from 9:00 to 12:00 for the issuance of a new batch of deer management permits ("doe permits").
Here's an article about the DEC giving out more of them...
'Tis the season for the Department of Environmental Conservation to correct its wrong guesses in regard to antlerless deer permit allocations, and some local hunters will undoubtedly benefit.
About 10,000 Deer Management Permits will be issued to hunters who were previously denied permits earlier this year during the initial application period that ended Oct. 1.
Each summer the DEC anticipates the number of applicants in each WMU and assigns a probability to each unit to ensure the availability of the appropriate number of DMPs. As evidenced by the giveaway, it doesn't always work.
For a description on the WMU geographic units, visit www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/8302.html.
The random selection process is complete and the DEC has begun mailing permits. An average of 13 percent of the hunters previously denied permits in these units will now receive a DMP. 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.
In addition, DEC will also reopen the DMP application process starting Nov. 1, on a first-come, first-served basis for WMUs that have not reached target totals during the random selections. Hunters may apply for leftover DMPs at any DEC license sales outlet beginning Nov. 1. Leftover DMPs will not be available by phone, mail or the Internet.
