How many Does...
 
I am curious as to how many you can take in a year, and also how many do you take...??

In MD you can take 10 Anterless deer with each weapon in region B... And you can take Unlimited in certain counties... 2 Bucks per weapon... You can only take the 2nd buck after you have taken 2 does...

I don't shoot too many... Maybe 2 does in a season... And I will donate one, we don't eat that much venision since my wife doesn't like it... So I usually let them walk and wait for the big boys...

We can shoot 6 here, I beleive. I have a license for 6 deer....of which I KNOW 2 can be antlered. I think I could shoot 6 antlerLESS if I chose to (in my state).

I have looked it up and this is all I can come up with for Wi. It says"One antlerless deer per unused antlerless deer tag. And I dont believe that there is a limit on how many doe tags we can get. So I am not completely sure but that is what I came up with.

Well it looks like they are trying to increase the size of the heard around me again, for some reason. Getting a doe permit has been tough the past few years. But I always get my Land Owner Permit, so far that is.

In Montgomery County, MD it was unlimited does for bowhunting last year.

I usually take 2 does so I can try toget a second buck when I'm lucky enough to have a first buck. :D

I live in MD as well and try to take a few does every year. Last year I ended up taking 7, 4 with the bow 3 with shotgun or M/L. I think we can take a total of 36 doe in our state between the 2 zones.

I think you can get up to 2 tags per day in some areas in WI.

In the UP, doe tags are all messed up. Some areas are by drawing only, others you can get extras over the counter, but in our area in the farther north regions, you are pretty much out of luck for does, ecept for 1 with the bow per year.

Five antlerless tags here in Montana. Its not too hard to fill them all.

You can get three deer total in Ohio with only one being antlered. I will shoot one to two does depending on the success of my other hunts. Can't let that freezer get empty you know.

Here in the county I hunt in Minnesota we can shoot 1 buck and 4 does. This year at least.

RE: How many Does...
 
Here in Indiana you can shoot over 200 does...if you wanted. Each county has a limit though of 1-4. Once you reach your limit in one county you simply move to the next and fill your quota there. Before anyone from IN chimes in to tell me I'm crazy please check the new regulations as it changed this year.

RE: How many Does...
 
three bucks and three does as of this year.
unless you are on a DMAP program which gives extra tags to clubs that are trying to manage their herds for a better buck to doe ratio.
Oh yea the state is Louisiana!

RE: How many Does...
 
I don't know how many PA guys responded, you can't take any unless you apply for and get a doe tag, now you can also apply for different areas and multiple tags to a certain number if I'm not mistaken...

I haven't applied for a tag for many years. I've been satisified with taken my archery buck only. I may however apply this year, I'm not decided.

White-tailed Deer - Archery Season: October 1 - 30 (no antlerless permit required except on MLD property); General Season: November 5 - January 1; Special Late General Season: January 2 - 15 (antlerless and spike bucks only). Bag limit: 5 (no more than 2 bucks, all seasons combined).

In Edwards County, Tx on Tx Parks and Wildlife website. They havn't updated for 06-07,but Idoubt it'schanged.

HOWEVER, Property rules are 1 Buck and 1 Spike/Antlerless per Person.

In MAssachusetts you can shoot as many antlerless deer as you have permits for.

There is no limit to how many permits you can purchase but they have a limit on how many they will sell for each zone. Some zones sell out in the first day, some don't sell out at all.

I've never taken more than two deer in a season, but I buy a couple extra permits each year just in case.

Here in south western CT theres no limit. You get 2 either sex & 2 antlerless tags with your license & all the replacement antlerless tags you want. You bring in a doe & get a new tag. Last year every third doe you got a replacement either sex AND an antlerless tag, I imagine it'll be the same this year. I believe this is only along the shore. Inland counties get just the 2 either sex & 2 doe tags.
I shoot a bunch of does, dont see a problem if they dont go to waste. I gave 4 deer away last year & we ate 7. ;)

In Louisiana it's always been a 6 deer limit. You could kill 6 does if you wanted or 6 bucks, ora combination. We have had designated doe days. During archery only season, which is the first three weeks in Oct., you can take either sex. There is a muzzleloader week in Oct. also and either sex may be taken. Gun season opens Oct. 28 so it now has to be a doe day to kill one. This has all changed now. This will be the first year where La. will regulate the buck harvest. Only three bucks may be taken in a season now. We will no longer have either sex days. You can take 6 deer in a season, all methods of weapons combined Oct.1-Jan 31, and no more than 3 may be bucks. There is no restriction on antler size though. That's probably coming in the future. I personally try to take two does a season during the archery only season. I don't like taking does after late Oct. The bucks here where I hunt will rut anywhere from late Oct. to the second week of Nov. and then may have a secondary rut late Nov. or early Dec. So, if you kill 6 does, your season is over. Of course we all know there are hunters who will exceed the legal limit. There is no tagging system in La., so I know there are a lot of hunters who take over the legal limit. I'm not one of them.

It varies in PA depending on where you hunt and buy tags for. Technically I could buy as many do tags as I want in one of the special regs areas. Typically I get 5 doe tags and try to fill all of them. This year I may try for another area and get 6.

RE: How many Does...
 
In MO unlimited doe tags for most of the state, $7.00 each. I usually take 5-7. But there are some guys who are hired by cities or subdivisions to thin the herd, that kill 70 or more a year. NO KIDDING I AM SERIOUS.

RE: How many Does...
 
In Missouri, we can buy and fill an unlimited number of archery antlerless tags. There are a few counties in Southeastern MO they aren't valid, but are in 98% of the state.

In Oklahoma you can kill a total of 3 bucks and 3 does for the season.

PatriotDually 08-03-2006 09:05 AM

RE: How many Does...
 
We are allowed 5 does and 3 bucks. I always kill my limit of does and of course try and get all 3 of my bucks.
