The deer season runs state wide, this year it was from Oct. 26- Nov. 30. A general deer combination tag, which allows you to shoot a buck deer ( whitetail or mulie in most areas- in some you need to apply for a mulie tag) and also covers your upland game license, costs $328. This is the only tag a non-res. can apply for if you want to shoot a buck. They issue 2500 of these tags, and I understand the chances of drawing one are about 20% your first year. But if you go through an outfitter, you can get a guarenteed outfitters tag, but it costs $775.
