How many deer can you take legally in your state?

[TSchirm]

I live in Washington state and have lived awhile back in Wyoming. I grew up in Iowa,but the deer situation there has changed tremendously since I left. I would like to see if members would post what the typical deer limit is in their state. I realize it can vary year to year depending on herd populations, etc, but I'm wondering what is fairly typical.  My hope is if I can ever get ahead financially to travel and hunt deer somwhere besides where I live.  It would be realy nice to have the possible opportunity to take more than one deer.  I know some SE states are very liberal, and I have seen  in some of the posts on this site that other states have the opportunity at more than one deer.  Here in WA, we can only take one deer unless you draw one of the very limited second doe tags.

If the deer hunting is good don't push the extra doe tags. We used to have good deer hunting in Pennsylvania and 15 years and millions of doe tags late its hard to kill a deer.

The Soviet state of NJ, as many does as you want. only one buck per season, comes out to seven bucks.

Problem is getting land to hunt on, or it's public land one has to go to.

if doe's is what you want here in west TN in unit L we r allowed 3 a day through out the season

[Benjy]

In the lower half of SC you can shoot every buck you see with at least 2" of horns from Aug 15 thru Jan 1.

Depends.

Bow only or deer taken in any legal manner?  If you include road kills or just hunting.  O assume jsut hunting.

In WI, its 4 a day in some places. In NY, I believe it is 2 deer and one bear with the bow.

Then you can get 2 with the muzzle loader and 2 with the rifle plus a bonus if you draw one. So I guess the answer is 7.  But then there are crop damage permits   , add 15 at my friend's farm.   :D

in missouri you get two any deer and two any turkey for you archery tag. After that you can buy as many anterless tags for nine bucks a piece and kill does from september until jan.

[Mike Vines]

Parts of our state (Michigan) you are allowed to buy 5 doe licenses a day in the southern zone.  The average guy will purchase a Combination license which allows 2 deer to be taken.  In archery season it could be 2 bucks or 2 does, or one of each.  if you take 2 bucks, one will have antler restrictions imposed on it.

Two bucks, unless you get a special *and rare* tag.
Fork on one side big enough to hang a ring on or larger bucks.

No rut hunts. Cali sucks for deer hunting.

I live in zone 12 in Arkansas. You may harvest 5 deer this year but only 2 can be bucks.

I live in the CWD in Wisconsin and our DNR has set the limit at 4 doe tags per day and for each doe your shoot you can get a buck tag.

Hows that for herd reduction stupidity! They use to call our zone the herd eradication zone....but they changed it to the herd reduction zone.

I will shoot a doe or two if I have been seeing deer and I limit myself to one buck, if I get that lucky.....needless to say I'm not over run with deer on my property.

[caleb7mm]

10 does and 2 bucks. first buck can be any size. second has to have 4 on one side or better.

1 bear in the mountains up north where we are.

[Big Ed]

I my part of PA you can shoot one Buck and unlimited antlerless. You must buy the tags for the antlerless.

[vermonster13]

3 total at least one has to be anterless. 2 can be archery deer

[Pegg]

In Minnesota we can take one deer in some areas unless you get a lottery. Some areas is two deer in a management zone and intesive harvest we can take 5 deer. The great thing is in two zones we can take as many deer as we want. But we can only take one buck per year. The rest have to be does and fawns.

[nc recurveman]

we get 7 deer tags any combination to start with and an unlimited supply of doe tags there after if you send off for them.. also so 2 turkeys 1 bear per license.

[droptine82]

Kansas  One buck and five does.  Out if state is lottery.

[mookie]

Oklahoma is 6 two of which can be bucks.

[adeeden]

2 bucks here in IL and all the does you want to buy tags for.

[steadman]

One buck, except on the extended hunt either sex, and our herd has a hard time with that
