Whitetail Limits
 

Not that it is all about taking, i am curious to know how many deer you can take in your state, area, region, etc. during the entire season. Where I live I can take 2 either sex.

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

if you dont live in pennsylvania i doubt you could guess how many we can take! lol. to make a long story short you can only take ONE buck regaurdless of anything. but antlerless is a wholeeee diffrent ball game. they set numbers of tags for each wildlife managment unit(used to be county) residents get first picks. send in applications and if they have them and you followed the application youll get it. then non residents get a chance. then residents get another chance. by then some are sold out..by the time the second round for residents is over MOST are sold out. usually all thats left is special reg areas that have to many deer and too many houses and roads. then theres a 3rd round. then i think after the 3rd round you can buy over the counter or send for as many as you want. so if your hunting a special reg area you can usually buy as many doe tags as you like.

to make it simple you can take 1 buck and as many does as you have tags for

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

2 bucks max per person regardless iof what weapon you use (If you get two with bow than none are allowed with gun. If you get one with a gun tha you can only take one with a bow) and as many does with a bow as you see fit.

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

One.

Three point minimum or antlerless.

We can put in for and draw a second antlerless deer tag as well, but that isn't garaunteed.

Pretty lame, and I really dislike Washington State because of it. We're one of the few states with such a small limit and in my section of the state we've got a Doe::Buck ratio thats out of whack.

We could do with a few extra doe tags per year, at least for awhile.

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

6

2 bucks 4 does in my county. Different combinations in different counties, but 6 total.

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

In Michigan you can take two bucks one has to have 4 points on a side and you used to be able to get one doe tag a day until they were gone but this year you can only get three doe tags all together.

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

Half of Va. can take 3 bucks, 3 does, three turkeys, one bear on a annual residentual license. I don't know about out-of-state.

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

Here in Kentucky we can harvest 4 deer. One buck and three does or 4 does.
Good Hunting.

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

In Indiana, without getting drawn for any special hunts, you can take 1 buck per season.It used to be 1 with a firearm and 1 with a bow.

Now just 1 regardless.

Does...
Holy cow. Some counties have a limit if 8 does!!!
Most are 1-3, but you can drive to as many counties as you want and shoot as many as that county will allow you to shoot. It all depends how many tags you want to buy!

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

In Wi the area I hunt is a herd reduction zone. From 9/16-10/26 you can get 4 tags daily for free. After the 26th it's earn-a-buck time and you have to tag a doe first. The rest of the state is one buck,two does I believe,for bow,not sure of guns. So if you dothe math let's see............oh I lost count. Anyways you won't get that many opportunities.

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

When it really comes down to it, UNLIMITED! Where I hunt you can take 6 bucks, two in each season for that zone. There are I think 5 zones in the state. So I guess 30 bucks. You also most shoot two bambi's/does before the second buck. The bambi's/does are unlimited in the zone I hunt.

As far as I know those are the limits again for this year. I don't read the regs since it's pretty rediculous to the limits. I will glance at them sometime during the season just to check to make sure not much has changed from last year. It never seems to change. I guess the next change will be you have to shoot 5 does before your first buck or something.

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

in maryland were allowed 2 bucks and 10 doe in every catergory after the 10 you can purchase tags for doe only.if a buck is taken first with a bow you got to shoot 2 doe before you can take another buck. same with rifle andmuzzleloader.

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

in my unit in tenn we can kill three deer but only two may be bucks and the antlers have to be atleast 3 inch in length

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

In Missouri you can kill 1 buck with rifle and I think 1 buck with muzzleloader and 2 bucks with a bow. Does are a different story. Some areas you can buy extra doe tags for gun and most of the state you can kill an unlimited number of does with a bow. Also some areas have gone to a 4 points on one side min. for all weapons. You almost need to take the rules with you and have to know what county your in.

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

To add to Dr Andy's WI post....
Here in the North Woods, I bought my Archery and gun license at the same time. I received 5 tags, but in the area I hunt, I can only use the top three:
Archery (Either/or)
Archery (antlerless)
Gun (buck)
The other two tags are good only in the Earn-A-Buck Zones for antlerless deer with either gun or bow.
But, as long as there are antlerless tags available in specific units, you can buy one/day until they are gone. They are unit specific. In EAB units they cost $2. In regular units, like where I hunt, they are $12.
So, I believe in my non- EAB unit, I could possibly shoot 118 deer between Sept 16, 2006 and Jan 7, 2007. It would cost me $1428 in tags.

Thanks guys, very veryinteresting, i didnt know about the earn a buck system. Sounds like that could be tough after a month of pressure. it would be kinda tough here in my area of MN.

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

Here in the area I hunt in we can take 4 does and 1 buck between riffle and bow. Not sure on muzzle loader. My plan is to take the first none yearling doe I see so I have meat in the freezer and work the kinks out then I'll be looking for big deer until after gun season then the last two weeks of bow season I'll be filling my tags with anything that walks by.

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

I'll have to read the regs again. I don't recall any thing in the regs about buying more tags. I did see the check in process changed once you tag out (If you didn't already go crazy from dealing with so many deer kills). Never saw anything about new tags to purchase.

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

Well, in AR last year I was in a one buck zone. In AR this year I'm in a two buck zone. I haven't moved.

They raised the buck limit and I'm glad. You can now harvest two bucks and two does with a bow in my zone. Last year you could only harvest does with a bow, which stinks because where I'm at the buck/doe ration is 1/4 or something to that effect. Not anywhere close to where you want it.

Not real sure what some of the desk-sitting, city-slickers in Little Rock are doing with our deer herd...

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

In PA, 1 buck and up to 3/4 does...depends on the tags you get. In WV, you can shoot 2 in archery either sex, two bucks in rifle, 1 in muzzeloader, 1-3 doe depending on county...

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

In Florida you can kill 1 buck a day from 3rd week of septmber(bow season) until 3rd week of Jan. The state has 1 doe week which you could kill 1 doe a day.

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

In Texas, the county in which I hunt, the bag limit is 3.

This allows you one buck and two antlerless (all seasons combined). The buck must have an inside spread of at least 13 inches to be legal, (or) also have at least one unbranched antler (spike).

You have to be lightning fast to measure the spread before you shoot him!!! :D (This, of course, has drastically reduced the number of buck kills. They're just to darn hard to catch before you shoot them!)

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

Here in Maine we have our regular (Special) archery season September 28 - October 27, 2006 which is open state wide allowing 1 kill either sex. We also have expanded archer Sept 9th - Dec 9th which is limited to basically coastal regions allowing 1 buck permit for $32.00 and multiple antlerless permits for $12.00 each.

RE: Whitetail Limits
 

Man...you guy's are going to hate me. In North Alabama you can kill in the neighborhood of 200 deer in one season. There are no tags, no weigh stations, or no checking in. You buy the liscence for $15 then hunt to your hearts content. From Oct 15 - Jan 7, you can kill 2 does a day or1 buck and1 doe a day. Then from Jan 8 - Jan 31 you can kill 1 buck a day. Archery season is from Oct 15 - Nov 17 this year. After that it is gun for the rest of the time.
