On average in my area we will get 2 min, DMU permits, more than likely 4. Similar in other areas also.
over here in WNY we have the highest deer population and largest deer take in NY. heck the 4 southern tier counties of western NY have more of a deer take than any 8 or 9 other counties combined, we got 58% of the deer take for the whole state last year.
i have never heard of 4 DMU permits. in the book it only shows you get 2 and the past couple of years that has been a chore
