How to Transfer a DMP Deer Carcass Tag

Name: eRegulations
Price range: $

Hunter Jane Doe wants to transfer her DMP tag to hunter Pete Moss.

Step 1. Jane Doe signs the bottom of her
DMP tag.

Step 2. Jane Doe gives the DMP tag to
Pete Moss.

Step 3. Pete Moss records the Tag# of the DMP tag on the DMP Consignment portion of his hunting license.

Step 4. If Pete Moss takes an antlerless deer with the transferred DMP, he is required to report the deer by calling the automated reporting system (1-866-426-3778) or by reporting online at dec.ny.gov/things-to-do/hunting/report-your-harvest using the transferred DMP DOC# and his own date of birth.

Hunters are allowed to receive only two transferred DMPs per year.
DMPs can be transferred from the receiving hunter back to the original hunter or to another. The other hunter must record the DOC# on his/her reporting panel, as in Step 3 above, to complete the transfer.

Remember: Hunting licenses are not transferable. Only DMP carcass tags can be used by another hunter. A hunter must be in physical possession of a DMP when taking antlerless deer pursuant to a DMP. It cannot be shared by a group afield.

Note: To report a deer taken on a transferred DMP, the hunter who took the deer must call the automated reporting system (1-866-426-3778) or report online at dec.ny.gov/things-to-do/hunting/report-your-harvest using the transferred DMP carcass tag DOC# and their own date of birth, along with other required information (see How to Properly Fill out Your Carcass Tag & Report Your Harvest).
