I'm jealous. Here you get a piece of paper and a 'good luck' for around $25 (the good luck part is free). That's $25 for bow season and $25 for gun season. You can take ONE deer/yr., gun OR bow, except for some limited 'expanded archery zones' where archery doe tags are around $14 and archery buck tags are around $33. In those areas multiple does can technically be taken, but the zones are quite small and there are often more hunters than deer...if you can manage to gain access to them at all. Some of the offshore islands have good deer populations but access is even more difficult. Northern Maine has some huge bucks lurking...but it's big country where winter kill is high and deer densities are quite low. To use a treestand here (but not to actually hunt) you need landowner permission. There's no Sunday hunting, and both archery season and bow season run only about a month each (longer in the limited expanded archery zones). Ticks and mosquitos are plentiful and free, but if you arrow one your not allowed to track it onto an abutting property without prior authorization.
Dc7855, you can take 12 deer/season in Georgia?!! Hereabouts the average hunter would feel lucky to just SEE 12 deer for the year...and that includes scouting time! And the Fish & Game Department wonders why hunter numbers are shrinking.
A different world for sure.
