                    Deer tagging explained



Q: Can I tag a deer during the archery season in a one-deer-limit zone after I've tagged a deer during the firearm season in a two-deer-limit zone (for example, zone 343)?

A: Yes, but which sex of deer you take with your archery tag depends on the deer you took in the managed (two-deer) zone.
The statewide limit for bucks (antlered deer) is one, regardless of zone designation. If you killed a buck with your firearm in the managed zone, your archery tag can only be used for an antlerless deer in a lottery or hunter’s choice zone, or in another managed or intensive zone. You would not be able to tag a deer of either sex in a bucks-only zone.


 If you killed a doe in the managed zone with your firearm, your archery tag is good for either a buck or a doe in the one-deer (lottery or hunter’s choice) zone, or a buck in a bucks-only zone. See pages 69-71 of the Hunting Regulation synopsis for more details.
