The City of Oneonta has been granted 60 tags to be used in the "Deer Management Plan" zone. 40 tags will be provided for use on city-owned property and 20 tags will be provided for use on privately-owned property. Click here to view city-owned property open to hunters with DMAP Permits. Tags will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and each eligible hunter will receive 1 tag at a time, with up to 2 being issued in a season. Tags will be distributed by the City Clerk's Office only after the below application is submitted and approved. Do not come to pick up your tag without first receiving approval from the Deer Management Coordinator, Susan Lettis. If you are approved to receive a DMAP permit through this program, you will receive an email with instructions on where to pick up your permit. You must pick up the permit within one week or your permit may be issued to another hunter.
By checking yes below and submitting this form, I understand the following responsibilities:
- Successful hunters must report harvested deer within 24 hours of harvest. Hunters who are not successful must report that no later than January 3, 2025. Failure to report a harvest or non-harvest will make you ineligible for this program in subsequent years.
- Have your license on hand: You must have your license on hand while conducting any sporting activity permitted by the license.
- Display your license as requested: You must display your license(s) on demand to any police officer, peace office, or the owner, lessee, or other person in control of the lands or waters while on their property.
- Do not access private property without permission: A license to hunt, trap or fish does not give the holder any right to go on private property without permission of the landowner.
- Do not let others use your license. Do not allow others to use your DMAP permit that is issued to you through this program.
- Abide by harvest limits and sporting regulations: You are responsible for checking and following regulations for harvest limits and seasons before going fishing, hunting or trapping.
- This DMAP tag is valid for anterless deer only (ie: deer having no antlers or antlers less than 3 inches long).
- All laws and regulations pertaining to deer season dates, hunting hours, tagging requirements, transportation and possession remain in effect. DMAP tags may be used in any open deer season with the appropriate implement.
- Unused tags must be returned to the Oneonta City Clerk by January 3, 2025. If you are issued a tag and decide you will not use it while hunting season is still open, please return the tag to the Oneonta City Clerk so it may be issued to a different hunter.
- All successful hunters must complete the DMAP carcass tag, attach it to the deer, and report the harvested deer information to both the DEC (www.dec.ny.gov or 1-866-426-3778) and to the Deer Management Coordinator through this website.
