I'm just about sure that Archery permits for residents are only available over the counter. This year they did start (I believe again) a single archery only either sex tag. It's mail in only and allows you either a buck or doe with the tag. I think they brought it back for those hunters who are only interested in shooting one deer and not interested if its a buck or doe. I believe they did it so someone can shoot one deer and not worry about buying the two tags over the counter. This one is due September 1st I believe.

OK, have bought over the internet in the last couple of years and it has been easy. Is the permits only available over the counter this year?

Unless you want a single either sex permit, you can buy combined antlerless-only and either sex or anterless only over the counter. I believe these became available Aug 2nd. I didnt see anything about online permit purchases.

Can You still buy a archery deer tag after Sept 1st or is that it.

You can buy your tags now, or anytime through the season.

Must be at vendors only, nothing on the online hunting license/permits page. Just very handy online.

Hey Guys, got the answer to the question that I threw out. Contacted the DNR and was told that the Resident Archery E/S Combo Permits will not be sold over the online site this year, supposedly because there was a problem with the shipping of the permits last year. Sounds strange but oh well, gotta get them at Wal-Mart I guess.
