There’s still time to hunt this year.
Late seasons are a great time to put some venison in the freezer or donate venison to others. During the late seasons DEC encourages hunters to continue to pass up young, small-antlered bucks. Focusing harvest on antlerless deer instead contributes to population management and eases the pressure on antlered bucks.
Every late-season deer hunter has at least one tag for antlerless deer, with either-sex and antlerless-only “Bow/Muzz” tags and unfilled regular season tags that can also be used for antlerless deer during the late seasons.

Be aware that there are people that are now promoting the Wind Turbines in Lake Erie (See Image), threatening our water of life and our fishery. We must continue to educate the public and push back against these falsehoods. Industrial Wind Turbines provide a net negative impact to our Great Lakes natural resources. Please spread the word and let people know that we will not tolerate these useless industrial machines in our waters by contacting your elected representatives at the town, county and state levels. Please visit the Facebook Group CAWTILE (Citizens Against Wind Turbines in Lake Erie) for additional resources and information.
Proposals Include More Conservative Statewide Regulations and Experimental Regulations to Improve Fishing Opportunities for Larger Sunfish
