managed area tagging

[maddowg1192000]

New scenario for you. I take 2 does in 242 on bonus tags now I can't hunt there anymore but I should be able to take 2 more does in 248 on bonus tags and then shoot a doe or buck in 247 with main tag

[paceman]

all depends. what are these areas? HC, managed, intensive???

[Jameson]

2 in managed areas. 242 and 248 are both managed. 2 total, not more than 2.

If one of those areas was Intensive you'd be good. But they aren't. So you can't.

[Bear55]

You need to hit an intensive harvest area to take does 3 and 4. Two managed areas won't work.

[96trigger]

You only get 2 deer in ALL managed area. Once you get 2 deer in a managed area, you are done in all managed areas as the others have said.

[Powerstroke]

Bear and 96 are correct.

Once you tag 1 deer, you can no longer hunt in a lottery or HC zone. Once you've tagged two deer you can no longer hunt in managed zones.

This was part of the simplification process of the tags a few years ago.

Clarification, once you've tagged two deer in managed areas you are done in managed areas. If you have tagged one deer in HC, one deer in Managed, you can continue to hunt Managed.

I take 2 does in (ANY COMBINATION OF MANAGED ZONES) on bonus tags now I can't hunt ANY MORE MANAGED ZONES

Correct

Powerstroke is incorrect in his answer.....

So much for simplifying this stuff..... argh...

I still think that the basic idea of what Powerstroke is saying should be the way it is.... and yes Jameson, you and I went over this scenario recently and disagree on it.

[Jameson]

...but I can see where you are coming from Hockeybc69, just disagree.

[hockeybc69]

A rarity on a forum..... agreeing to disagree.... I do refuse to do a group hug though! LOLLLL

talked to a DNR agent about this up at Camp Ripley last week. You can absolutely tag two deer in a managed area and then shoot another deer in a hunters choice or lottery but never more then 5 deer a season.

[Powerstroke]

Since I can't edit my post, I will clarify. There are a few exceptions to what I wrote.

Where you tag your deer is important as well as what tag you are using.

For the exact scenario you described, NO, you cannot tag 5 deer that way.

Only if the 2 deer in the managed area was with bonus tags

[Bear55]

Just a note to all, life is much easier if you only shoot one extra doe in a managed or intensive harvest area and then look for a nice buck.

[Jameson]

Only if the 2 deer in the managed area was with bonus tags

Only if the hunter is only hunting with one weapon. A person could use their archery main tag and firearm's main over the course of the season to do it, too. Or all three main tags, and no bonus tags. Of course then you gotta take one deer by archery during archery season, one deer by firearms during firearms season, and one deer by muzzy during muzzy season. If the hunter is only hunting firearms, then sure, it can only be done with using two bonus tags in the Managed area.

And whats so confusing about all this. I mean come on....
