FAQ's
If I shoot an antlerless deer within a EAB unit , during the October or December zone-t hunts , can I shoot a buck during this same season?
No
The October and December 4 day zone-t special hunts are antlerless only seasons.
Since they started the zone-t seasons they have always been antlerless only. A bowhunter can bowhunt during the zone-t season , but he/she must where blaze orange and can only harvest an antlerless deer if hunting in a zone-t area.
And as I said , all areas that are EAB units this year are areas that have been zone-t areas in the past.
The area that he shot the deer in was NOT a T-zone or EAB in 2002, but it is this year. Your statement of "all zones that are EAB zones this year have been T-Zones for the past several years" is incorrect. I'm not going to point out the specific area, but according to the maps for 2002 and 2004, you are wrong.
