HOW MANY DEER..

[blacktailchaser]

LETS KEEP IT SIMPLE...how many deer can you shoot in a general bow season...and what state are you in...i have allways wanted to ask this....let the games being..

[Orion]

Depends.  In the northern part of the state where I hunt, one buck only.  In the southern part of the state where there are a lot more deer, I believe one can buy as many doe permits as one wants.

[blacktailchaser]

orion thanks for the reply.. i like the way you said that...this might be a tricky question for some..because of game management in your state...just do your best guys.....

2 bucks total , only one before gun season, and one during or after .  All the does you want to buy tags for...

[Cory Mattson]

6 tags often filled but not always all 6 can be does
Of the six only two can be bucks
Extra doe tags available for “managing clubs” and for managing “ urban units” and for “bow only city limits”
I’ve used those extra tags most of the last sixteen years
14 deer was the most I took in one season in NC
Before that I got more deer in other states added to my NC tags
All these were stickbows only

Without talking about very specific and exceptional circumstances for something like hog deer, in my part of the world we can shoot as many as we want and/or can, of any sex or age, 365 days a year, with no requirement to buy tags. None with a bow yet (either compound or trad bow) but hoping I can change that soon.
In previous years of terrible drought I did my best to reduce numbers for landowners and we used all of the meat. Now we are having a fantastic season and we still use everything we shoot but we aren't killing quite as many as we could or have before.

Generally 4. Only one can be a buck.
Also, you can buy limitless archery doe tags for zone 1 counties.

Georgia law states hunters are allowed to harvest up to 10 antlerless deer and no more than two antlered deer. In the release, WRD explains one of the two antlered deer must have a minimum of four points, one inch or longer, on one side of the antlers, or a minimum 15-inch outside antler spread.

Illinois- 2 bucks with over 3” antlers and unlimited doe. Must buy tags for each deer.
Tennessee- 2 bucks a year, and 3 does a day. All on one hunting license.

Ohio1 buck up to 5 does.  There is county specific also, example my county is a 3 deer county.  For me to fill all my tags I have to be willing to go to another county.  Also limitations on how many on public land.  Example only on of each sex.  Then the rest have to be on private.   

Ohio is a big buck destination but I am still in search of a 200 lb field dressed doe.

Try eastern South Dakota….they got some corn fed fatties.
I lived up there for a while…..they got some rotund deer.

I didn't realize we were considering the other states we hunt in.  In Missouri I can take up to two bucks and depending on the counties at least two to unlimited doe.

Texas - 5 tags total on your license; 2 antlerless and 3 buck or antlerless. Most ppl have to have places in different counties to use all 3 buck tags. There is also a Managed Lands Deer Permit program that gives tags to participating landowners. On those properties you can kill as many deer as there are tags, and you can still use the tags on your license at other places. Last year I killed 7 whitetail deer. The year before, 13.

Bisch, does TX still have different numbers in certain counties?

[Bisch]

Bisch, does TX still have different numbers in certain counties?

Yes! There are 1 buck, 2 buck, and 3 buck counties. But you can use all your buck tags if you have places in different counties to hunt. There are also counties where you can only shoot does on certain days.

In many states, it quickly becomes a question of how many deer do you want to drag out of the woods and take care of.
