how long does your bow season last?

[Cwilder]

Maryland over the counter
Sept 6th until jan 31st
One buck per season 10 doe per season in region B unlimited doe with bow.
You get one bonus buck tag you may use it once you tag two anterless. So if you go out opening day and kill two doe then you can shoot two bucks.
Now I hunt two places that are federal land. On both places I can shoot 6 bucks and a bunch of anterless all deer do not count towards state bag limits

We bowhunt hogs 365 in California resident tags are 19 bucks. The rest are heavily regulated just like anywhere else. For deer some zones are OTC others draw, and some animals are off the list entirely. Big challenge we CA hunters face is access, and unfortunately public land is popular with weed growers; but on a positive note ticks are pretty much nonexistent.

As was said on page one Pa has a roughly month and a half long early season then a 2 week long late season that comes in the day after xmas. This is traditionally called the late flintlock season but archery gear is legal. (archery gear is legal for the 2 week firearms season as well tho for that matter)

CT - Sept 16 to Dec 31 in zones 1-10. zones 11-12 is an addl. month of Jan.

zones 1-10 get four tags, two either sex, two antlerless.
zones 11-12 get the four tags, plus for every deer killed in that zone, get a replacement antlerless tag (unlimited at no extra cost), plus for every third antlerless deer killed, a bonus buck tag is issued.

Pennsylvania has you all beat!  Archery season is 6 weeks long (October & 2 weeks in November) with NO Sunday hunting!  Top That!

holy Crap..  plus the sheer numbers of people in the woods during that time and if your a weekend hunter that's a very few days to hunt   I would lose my mind in PA

on the queen charlotte islands,season opens 1st june to end feb-15 deer max- 5 per day.- they can be either sex.
bucks from 1 june to end august- then open season until end feb.
no specific archery season- but with 3 931 sq. miles, and a human population density of 1.2 people per sq. mile- there is very little pressure here, hence the high tag numbers.
elk has a month bow season, then a month rifle- i think- never looked into it.

Around here the season is never over! If we are not actually doing it we are thinking and dreaming and planning deer season. Off season hunt a lot of coyotes!

Wyoming varies a bit, but in general we have all of September for archery, and then we can hunt during rifle season. I generally spend September in the high country for elk, and then come down to the lower ground for whitetails and turkeys during gun season. Lots of antelope areas open mid August, and can run into October. We are limited to one buck deer, but can buy several doe tags. Most elk areas for archery are any elk, but that varies, too.
Where I live, I can hunt whitetails into December, but bucks only through November. From Oct 1 through Oct 15, we can't hunt deer in my neck of the woods, only turkeys.
Wolves are considered 'predators' outside of the area around Yellowstone, and can be hunted without any license, like coyotes. Around Yellowstone, they are 'trophy game' and are hunted on a quota system.
Black bears and mountain lion are on a quota by area. We can't hunt grizzlies yet, even if they can hunt us.
Are you confused yet??

for me when i do hunt all year round. just when ever i need some meat.

In Arkansas all tags are included when you purchase you license you get 6 tags but only 2 can be bucks. the season last from September 28 to February 28.

[Cootling]

In North Dakota, from noon on the Friday before Labor Day weekend to first week of January.  The season is statewide and residents are allowed one deer, either sex, either species. Non-resident tags include either species (limited number) and white-tailed deer only (unlimited).  We can hunt through the rifle and muzzleloader seasons, each of which last 16 1/2 days, but we must wear orange during the rifle season.
