RE: Ohio Deer limits??
You guys are reading into it too much! LOL!! They basically doubled your zones bag limits with antlerless tags. They will no longer be called "urban" tags and will now be called "antlerless" tags, but the "urban" Zones are still able to be hunted, just have to get the "antlerless" tag for in it. If you had Zone A last year you can get one deer with any weapon any time of the season, and you can get one antlerless deer with archery equipment before the gun season starts. Zone B is the same but two deer anytime in the season with any equipment. Then you can get two antlerless deer with archery equipment before the gun season starts. Zone C is the same, three deer anytime and three deer archery only before gun season. Here is the catch that may confuse some, They want to make at least one full price sale on a tag before you can buy the cheaper one. So you have to buy at least one $24tag before you you can buy the $15one. You do not have to use the $24tag first, you just have to buy it. So all the people that gun and bow hunt you buy a $24tag and a $15 tag at the start of archery season. After you have your tags you save your $24tag for gun or ML season and use your $15tag during bow. Again, you do not have to use your $24tag first, you just have to buy one. The only way you would have to use it first is if you get a buck, then you are left to does only for the rest of season since you can only shoot one buck per year regardless of zone.
So here is a break down...
Zone A - One Buck for $24, and one archery Doe for $15, or one Doe for $24 and one archery Doe for 15 and get a $24 Buck in Zone B or C.
Zone B - One Buck for 24 and one Doe for $24 and two archery Doe's for $15. or two doe for $24 and two archery Doe for $15 and get your one $24 Buck in Zone A or C
Zone C - One Buck for $24 and two Doe for $24 and three Archery Doe for $15. I do not think in Zone C you can shoot six doe and get a number seven deer ( buck) in A or B unless one of the does was in a actual "urban" zone Doe.
Again, you do not have to use your $24 tag first, just have to buy at least one before you can buy a $15 Tag. Buy both and save the $24 dollar tags for Gun and ML. Hope this helps.
