even if you were hunting in zone b where you can only use 2 24 dollar permits you are still allowed to purchase a third legally for use in zone c. but if you were infact hunting in zone b then he did ticket you correctly as you would have had to have an antlerless tag to be legal there. if you killed your 2 deer in zone b and used your 2 @$ dollar tags allowed in that zone you will have to kill your buck in zone c
