Congrats, and good luck. Here in Missouri, we can purchase, over the counter, an UNLIMITED number of archery antlerless tags.

In Indiana you can buy over the counter an unlimited number of antlerless tags as long as you do not take moredeer thanthe number permitted in a given county. Many of our counties have a bonus antlerless quota of 8 deer. Even Marion County which encompasses the City of Indianapolis has an 8 deer quota.These permits are $14 each after you purchase the first one at $24. I haven't counted up all the number of deer you could conceivably take throughout the state but it has to be over 500.

In Illinois you get an either sex tag and a antlerless only in the same permit. These are unlimited, by and use as many as you want BUT, you can only kill TWO bucks all season, any weapon. Meaning, if you draw a firearms tag and shot a buck, you can only archery kill one buck. Vise-versa, if you kill two archery bucks early, your firearms either sex is only good for antlerless deer.

Makes you think hard before pulling the trigger on your release.

In Minnesota, it depends on the area you are in, which is nice because they are trying to manage based on the local deer populations. But it can also be a little screwy. For instance, I'm in a "lottery" areathat allows you one deer total (either sex) with a regular archery tag. Last year, our area was designated "managed," which meant I could get two deer with the purchase of a bonus permit(one of each sex or two does). But "intensive" areas allow you to take up to 5 deer.

The screwy part comes in the form of the all season license, which allows you to take up to three deer in one season such as archery or across 3 different seasons such as archery, gun, and muzzleloader. You can purchase this license in a lottery, managed, or intensive harvest area and use it in any of them. So you can change the designation of the lottery area (one deer) into a three deer area for yourself by ponying up some extra cash for the all season license. Works for me as I'd like to take at least two but kind of goes against the whole reason for designating the area lottery for management purposes.
