RE: NC's Most Restrictive Deer Season
 

That doesn't sound too good ,I wonder why the short seasons.

RE: NC's Most Restrictive Deer Season
 

Here in Minnesota it depends on where you hunt; This year I can shoot up to 5 deer because one of the areas I hunt is an "intensive harvest" area.

The worst was in the early 70's (I think) when the deer herd was so low, the DNR closed the season for one year! I sat in my stand during what should have been opening day armed with a 35mm camera and telephoto lense. "Shot" one small doe.

RE: NC's Most Restrictive Deer Season
 

We start with a 30 day archery season , although the bow hunters can also hunt during the 2 week firearm season that comes next . You can take a buck and a doe or 2 does .
Firearms is 2 weeks and is buck only .
Muzzleloader is next and runs 2 weeks , with a 1 week break between it and firearms . You can take either sex .
Last is archery again , which runs about 4 weeks , and you can take does with a crossbow . You can only take a buck during late archery if you haven't already filled your one buck tag until '05 when you can also take your one buck with a crossbow .
We are a "one buck" state , but you can take up to 4 does depending on what county you're hunting in . Then there's the military refuge , urban deer zones , and park reduction hunts whose take doesn't count against your bag limit . We also have depredation permits for the farmers which also don't count against your bag limit .

Youth Hunt Sept 25-26
Bow Season Oct 1 - Jan 1
Rifle Season Nov 15 - Nov 30

You are allowed two deer during all seasons with the second buck being restricted to 4 points or more on one side. Doe permits are in addition to your regular tags.

Our deer numbers really aren't that low, and there isn't as much poaching and dogging going on as you let on........ I rode around the last day of season last year and counted 59 deer out in fields..3 bucks...... all in Cherokee county. Six deer per season is plenty, and i'm glad we're only allowed 2 bucks.

RE: NC's Most Restrictive Deer Season
 

Man you guys are lucky back east. Out west, it is only one deer in most cases, and only a second or third deer by special permits for certain seasons. I have to apply every year to get a tag, and that is not guarenteed. I can only hunt for the specific area and season I draw for. This year I drew an early rifle hunt for a large area. The season is October 2nd-22nd. Thats all the deer hunting for me!!

6 deer, that would be great!!
