Here in MI we get a combo license which can be used for any combination of sex of deer in archery season...and Bucks only in Rifle and muzzleloader season.
One is restricted and the other non restricted. The restricted tag is for, " An antlered deer with 4 or more points on one side in archery or firearm seasons, or any sized antlerless deer in archery season only." The non restricted is for anysized antlered deer in firearm and archery seasons or anysized antlerless deer in archery season only.

But shooting at a deer when another deer is behind is very irresponsible. Sad thing is some people will actually praise him for it. I just hope more ridicule him than praise.
