Default How long is your bow season?

I hunt in NY and it appears that we have a shorter hunting season than most other states. We getfrom October 13th to November 16th. Then we get 8 days starting Dec 10th. So we get 6 weeks and I pay $76.00 for the Super Sportman. I get3 tags (1 doe, 1 buck and1 either sex) plus the chance to recieve 2 doe permits.

4quick questions

1. What state?
2. How many weeks do you have for bow season?
3. How much do you pay?
4. How many deeer can you harvest?

Texas, Sept 29 - Nov. 2. But you can hunt with a bow or crossbow during any general season. Bag limit depends on the county.

DE - Sept. 1 (oh my, that's today!) - Jan 31. Just raised the license fees from 12.50 to 25.00 this year and everyone is bit*%ing.

The $25 license gives you 4 deer: 2 does and 2 antlerless. For another $10, you get a quality buck tag and a hunter's choice (aka, second shooter or a WHOOPS, the little doe has balls)

You can buy additonal doe tags for $10 a apiece.

"Bag" limit = 4 per day.
