I'm in ND...bow season opens end of August or early September and goes into early January. We only get 1 bow tag though, and can shoot anything with it, buck or doe, muley or whitetail. The past few years there have been severaly thousand "extra" doe tags from our rifle season lottery. Those doe tags can be filled with a bow during the bow season. But we have to snatch the tags up before the gun hunters get to them. I wish we could buy more than one archery tag over the counter, especially since our season is so long.
