Early Antlerless Hunt This Weekend

[DonBo]

So I'm pretty new to hunting Minnesota. I hunt an intensive harvest zone. I understand there is a firearms season going on Thur.-Sunday. Do I need an early antlerless license to bowhunt this weekend? Can I use my regular archery tags if bowhunting? Can I bowhunt? Can I shoot a buck with my bow? Gawd this state is so confusing.....

Thanks for the help.

The way I understand it, you don't need an early anterless license to bow hunt during the early firearms season. You can shoot a buck as long as you still have your regular bow license. You can shoot a doe and tag it with either the regular bow lic. or use a management tag. You will need to wear blaze orange until Sunday in that area, unfortunately. (not sure on how much blaze orange)
