The state is making some changes to the rules for hunters.

Under the Department of Environmental Conservation's five-year deer management plan, they will adjust bear hunting seasons to stay concurrent with dear seasons and allow deer deer management permits, often called doe tags, to be used in all seasons in the Northern Zone.

They're also adjusting the Northern Zone season dates. The regular season will be open for 44 days now, beginning on the second Saturday after Columbus day.

Other changes will give bow hunters more time to hunt as well.
