Correct me if I am wrong but don't you have to apply for another buck tag if you take one during bow season and want to take another buck during gun?
This was the case until DECALS (2002). Once DECALS was implemented, archers and ML hunters received their own season tags (deer of either sex and antlerless only, valid only during early archery and extended/ ML).
Pre-DECALS, hunters would use the regular season tag to tag an archery harvested deer. That "Buck Tag" (as this tag was valid only for antlered animals during Reg season) became a deer of either sex tag during early archery. You filled it, and if you wished to hunt during regular season, a second, special buck tag could be PURCHASED for $10.00, provided you made the purchase at a licensing agent PRIOR TO OPENING DAY OF REG SEASON.
