The application window for the 2025 Deer Management Permits (DMPs) opens this August, providing hunters the chance to harvest additional antlerless deer in designated Wildlife Management Units. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) adjusts the number of DMPs available in each area based on specific deer management objectives, ensuring sustainable wildlife management practices.
