Here in Missouri we have bow season, rifle season where weget 1 any deer tag but in certain counties there is a 4 point minimum, and then of course we have muzzle loader season and finally in December we have the antlerless season which allows us to kill does. Thisis for herd management.My son in law calls it doe fest.
So in essence I guess we have 4 different seasons.
How many does your state have?
You forgot about the Urban season. It's only in a few select counties, but it usually runs in Oct. It's basically an early doe only season, just like the one in Dec. It's called Urban, because the counties that are targeted have a high population/city present, and they want to control the deer because of this. It's confusing, but it has nothing to do with hunting in city limits. It's what I was told from a Conservation agent.
