Seems like each state has confusing rules and regulations. If you hunt more than one state I don't know how you can keep them all straight.

Ohio's simple. 3 deer total, one buck. Doesn't matter WHAT you kill them with. Landowner's can harvest more, I think 7 total?

That seems weird. Seems to me you could get in trouble if someone at a check in station looks at the wound and says there's no way this buck was killed with a bow with powder residue on the hair or something along those lines. Here in Iowa they won't even let you carry a firearm while bow hunting. Very confusing if you ask me.

not sure what to tell ya man...i'd do it like spde did it...but as far as bag limits go...y'all do have it pretty good...when i used to hunt in Pa it was 1 deer per year (buck) and if you're lucky you can draw a doe tag and if you're really lucky you'll get a bonus tag (antlerless only) so 3 deer "IF" you're lucky...but not that i live in Alabama...there is no bag limit all season long...if you bow hunt you can hunt from oct. 15 to jan 31 and you can bag a deer a day (buck or doe)...not that i would or have freezer room for it all...it's just releiving not having to worry about messin' up...and we don't have to tag deer here...but good luck to ya dwd...hope you get to fill your tags
