ORIGINAL: JeramyK In PA we only get 1 buck tag. Doe tags are limited in some counties and plentiful in others. In Ohio you can get multiple Does by buying tags and moving around to different areas..but 1 buck per year regardless of weapon used. |

Check VT, NH, CO, CA, NV, AZ, WA, AK, for starters, I'm sure at least a couple of them will only allow 1 deer.

Colorado will only allow one a year. That's bow, rifle, and muzzle loader. You only get one tag, period. I enjoy my bow tag better than the other two, because you get a whole month to fill your tag.
Edit- I stand corrected, you can get only one buck tag. you can get a left over doe tag. |

One tag in "Lottery" permit areas in Minnesota, which essentially includes the lower half of the state, regardless of weapon. Bow hunters can take buck or doe, gun hunters have to draw for a doe tag.
Other areas, typically in the state's Northern half are either "Managed," one buck and one doe or "Intensive Harvest," one buck and four does. |

RE: Which state will only allow ONE deer with a bow???
Not in a general season in my unit but in others I believe there are a few that may.
But there are draw tags or damage tags and such that allow it. |
RE: Which state will only allow ONE deer with a bow???
I'm an idiot PT...in my county (KY)you get two doe tags and can go back and purchase two more for $ 10. Unlimited number of does. One buck however. I read deer and think bucks, my bad.

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). |

Washington state allows each hunter one deer per year.
You can put in and be drawn for a second antlerless only tag. |
RE: Which state will only allow ONE deer with a bow???
California & Arizona ....1 only

RE: Which state will only allow ONE deer with a bow???
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... but these days, residents can easily obtain doe licenses...first round you can get any WMU you want if you fill the app out correctly...2nd round you can get 1/2 to 3/4 of the WMUs if you desire...after that you can buy as many special reg area tags as your heart desires... |
RE: Which state will only allow ONE deer with a bow???
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? |
RE: Which state will only allow ONE deer with a bow???
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]

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. |
RE: Which state will only allow ONE deer with a bow???
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.

RE: Which state will only allow ONE deer with a bow???
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.
