The Town of Erwin will hold a controlled bow
hunt throughout the 2009 deer season beginning with early bow, Saturday, October
17, 2009 and ending with late muzzleloader on Tuesday, December 22, 2009. REGISTRATIONS MUST BE RETURNED TO THE TOWN
BY CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 2009.
There will be no additional proficiency requirements beyond NYS DEC
license requirements.
As initiated in 2008, in lieu of having to pick your DMAP permits up in
the Town office, the Town is requesting that hunters grant the Town permission
to query the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s database
to confirm that you are a 2009-2010 big game license holder. Therefore, hunters will not have to pick
up their DMAP permits in person unless they choose to do so. Two weeks prior to the hunter’s assigned
week, the hunter MUST confirm with the Town that he/she will hunt his/her
assigned week. Once confirmation is received from the hunter, the Town will
verify against the NYSDEC database, that the hunter holds a 2009-2010 DEC Big
Game license; then the Town will mail two DMAP permits the week prior to the assigned hunt
week. Unused DMAP permits must be
returned to the Town either in person no later than the Monday following the end
of his/her hunt period, or if returning by mail, it must be postmarked not later
than the Monday following the end of the respective assigned hunt period. This permission to query NYSDEC has been
added to the Release, Waiver &
Indemnification Agreement that is required to be notarized and returned with
the 2009 DMAP Application.
Again in 2009 we will issue points to hunters for special benefits
including choice of hunt week and location in 2010.
Points will be awarded as follows:
• Taking and properly tagging each anterless deer
10 points
• Completing and submitting the DMAP report/survey
10
points
• Hunting at least 5
days during assigned hunt period
5 points
In 2010, the top 15 hunters with the highest
points will be given their choice of hunt week and location. The top 30 hunters with the
highest points will be issued 2 DMAP permits at the beginning of their
respective hunt week. Points will
be tallied at the end of the 2009. Controlled Bowhunt. Qualifying hunters will be contacted for
their preferences of hunt week and location.
The Town will provide qualified archers with
special NYS D.E.C. Deer Management Assistance Permits (DMAP) to supplement any
other NYSDEC issued tags. Archers may also take bear with bear tags
issued by NYSDEC.
