Has anyone else ......

Has anyone else been part of the DEC Hunting Count Team . I was doing it for a few years and they sent me a patch after 5 years . Didn't hear anything for a couple years and e-maild them . They started sending me survey sheets again . You keep track of what you see on the days you hunt and the amount of time you spend on watch .
Here is the patch ............

The one you are talking about isn't the same . The one I am referring to is sightings during bow season for deer , fox , yotes , turkey , racoons , etc .. It can be in any area .
 
I also get one for pre season that is strictly for deer and they request that you go out to the same spot at least 3 times for the same amout of time each outing and at the same time of day .

I am part of a Deer Management Assistance Program in the middle of Westchester County. They give us access to some incredible areas (watershed, private and town properties). They ask us to take a heart sample for DNA tracking and all deer must be checked in at the police station. It is a great program for hunters.
 
I guess if you make enough $$$ and live in a fancy place you can tell the police to get the deer off your property!

how'd ya get that gig wayne?do they need more people?i hunt the new croton and muscoot areas.got a new spot picked out on some non posted property

I was an open call a few years ago. It was in the newspaper. Since then, because of some bad actions by a few hunters (fighting over deer, trespassing, etc) they put a restriction and made it invite only. It has a 5 deer quota so I would expect that there will be a lot of people who aren't invited back because they can't fill it. Send my your email and I will keep you in mind when the list comes up again.
