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.
