Deer limit question

[96trigger]

Lawdog, be sure you understand that the deer I would shoot in the lottery area would be during the archery season. The two deer that I would possibly shoot in the management area would be shotgun season. I could then take take two more deer with bonus tags in the intensive harvest area. That would be my limit of 5 deer a year. This is how I understand it. I could't take three deer during the firearm or regular archery season from a lottery and Management area, the most I could get is two total. (I thought I could three at first, but know now that its not legal)

I am in a lottery area for Firearm and Intensive for Muzzleloader. I can only take one deer on the lottery area. However, if I don't get one during Firearm, can I shoot up to 5 during muzzleloader (with bonus tags)? I have an all seasons license.

If I shoot 2 this year I will be amazed. I have a son being born in the next 3 weeks, so I am going to be busy and may not get the kitchen pass. Nice planning on my part.

Yes, you can do that.

96 - the seasons don't matter. You can take one or both during either of the seasons. Just so you don't exceed the limit (1 lottery, 2 managed), it doesn't matter when.

OK,, on the all season tag, can you shoot a deer each season one bow one gun one muzzle??? or just one the entire season ,,or all with bow???? and then go to managed areas with bonus tags and use there???

[Tippman]

You could shoot one each season only if you're in intensive harvest and two of the three are antlerless. In managed areas you are only allowed two deer total and in lottery just one total between the three methods. If you are hunting in intensive harvest you could purchase up to two additional antlerless bonus permits as the all season tag has max 3 deer you can take with it. I agree that it's a little confusing.

I think I'll play it safe and try to use my bonus permit in the Intensive harvest area, that should eliminate all confusion. I can only bow hunt that area any way. It would make it easier for me to stick a doe, but my primo spots are not in that area, so I don't hunt them as much.
