Are you one among the many New Yorkers waiting to fill your < a href="https://www.farwide.com/5-deer-scouting-tips-for-a-more-successful-hunting-season/">deer tag this fall? If so, you’re among a record number of hunters this coming deer hunting season.

Additionally, there’s a significant rise in the number of first time license holders signing up for hunter education courses in 2020. As per the Times Telegram, the numbers are almost twice that of the number of course takers in 2019.
