Oregon we can get a general buck, then if you want you can put in for a hair tag. That is crazy that other states you can get as many does as you want.
Op how many are can you get?

Here in Manitoba it's separated in Game Hunting Areas (GHAs), some GHAs allow up to 3 tags, others two, and of course the one I hunt in, only one.[&o]

about 90% sure PA used to be one deer a year....if you filled your buck tag you were not allowed to take a doe....

that was before my time...maybe one of the older PA guys can clarify...im pretty sure thats how it went though...
That's correct. When I started deer hunting in Pa back in the early '70s, you were able to kill ONE DEER. Even if you killed adoe during the earlier archery season you were done deer hunting for season. Period.

PA was covered however I'll restate it.

When you buy a resident license, you get a buck tag which can be used as a doe tag in late flintlock season with the purchase of a flintlock license BUT,

If that's all you buy like I have in the past that leaves me with a archery buck tag period! I can take a buck only during archery season.

I do however have the option of appying and paying for a antlerless tag. That doesn't mean that all PA hunters apply or but a tag.

Prior to last season I have not had an antlerless tag since the 90's. I had a buck tag only.

So in essence, unless an archery hunter applies and acquires an antlerless tag, we can tag only 1 buck(deer).
That doesn't count as far as what I am looking for ...... I was thinking how I wouldn't live in a state that only allows one deet total ... in PA, you can purchse additional
Then I withdraw my answer. [8D]

IF not already mentioned Idaho is a one deer state.
Leftover NR tags become available to residents at NR prices if they want a 2nd deer.

Here in MInnesota, they have 3 different areas. I live in a lottery area, wich means that I can only get 1 deer, either sex. Last year my area was management, which meant you could buy 1 extra doe only tag over the counter. Then there are some areas that are intensive harvest, and in those areas, you can tag a buck, or a doe with your regular license, and then you could buy up to 4 extra doe tags.

Here where I am it's a 1 deer state for the most part. You can only shoot a doe in the permit draw areas with a bow. The area I am in is just Bucks only except for youth day in which a jr. hunter can shoot either. Maine also has some expanded archery zones that allow shooting of does in which you can buy tags for 12 dollars each in these areas. These areas are around built up areas for the most part where rifle hunting is not allowed.

in indiana you can buy a bow tag for a doe and buy another tag for another doe or buck.
You must pay for each tag per deer.
heck you can only kill a buck with a modern firearms

Nope, I dont like it either! The part that really sucks, is that about 25 miles to the west of me is the line between lottery, and management.
