Antlerless permit question

[Rip_Some_Lip]

My buddy applied for an antlerless permit for the gun season and didn't fill the tag, can he use it for the muzzleloader season? It doesn't say a season on the card, just the area number. Thanks

Deer - bonus firearm/archery/muzzleloader ® - Code 430

Description:

Available for hunters to purchase bonus permits to take antlerless deer in certain areas. Bonus permits valid for archery, muzzleloader or firearms, but must have the appropriate regular license for the area, season, and method they are using. See Hunting Regulations.

Yes he can use it but he has to buy a regular license for muzzle loader as well..

By the looks of it he is in a lotto zone if he already filled his buck tag it appears he will have to buy a reg muzzle load tag fill the bonus tag in the lotto zone and then more than likely fill the regular in a zone that you can get more than one doe. ex 601

Yes, it is good for muzzle.

It's good for muzzy, unless he filled the buck tag in that area (or any other lottery/hunters choice area). Then that doe permit is no longer valid, and he cannot hunt in a lottery or hunters choice area during muzzy (unless party hunting)

That's what I thought too but I couldn't find anything in the regs. He hasn't tagged anything and wanted to try muzzleloader. Thanks

Careful.....the topic isn't about bonus permits.........it is about winning the doe lottery in a Lottery area and being able to take a doe or buck with the either/or tag.

As long as the hunter has a muzzleloader license, won the doe lottery for that area, and hasn't reached their limit in that area (1 in Lottery) then hunt on for buck or doe.
