Information on all-season deer and multi-zone buck licenses

All-Season Deer License

• Up to three deer may be taken with this license, not more than one can be a legal buck.
• It comes with an either-sex tag (depending on area) and two antlerless only tags.
• Either-sex tag options:
  • Can be used statewide during the archery or muzzleloader seasons.
  • Can be used in all managed or intensive deer areas during the regular firearm season, except 3B
  • The tag is valid only for bucks in lottery deer areas during the firearm season unless the hunter has obtained an either-sex permit.
  • In all deer areas, the tag is valid only for bucks in a specific season (archery, firearm, muzzleloader) if a hunter has already used both antlerless tags in the same season.
• Antlerless only tag options:
  • Both tags can be used during the archery or muzzleloader seasons in all open deer areas.
  • One tag can be used to take an antlerless deer during the firearms season if you apply for and draw an either-sex permit in lottery areas.
  • Both tags can be used during the firearm season in managed or intensive deer areas, except 3B.
• Party hunting is legal with this license.
• No other deer hunting license (archery, regular firearms, or muzzleloader) may be purchased in addition to this license, except hunters may purchase bonus and early-season antlerless permits.
• Holders of this license may hunt in any open archery, regular firearms (except 3B), or muzzleloader season and area, using the legal firearm or bow and arrows for the respective season and zone.
• Note: Only one antlerless deer can be taken during the firearm season in lottery deer areas and only if the hunter has obtained an either-sex permit for that deer area. Only two antlerless deer can be killed in any one season (archery, firearm, muzzleloader). To maximize opportunity, hunters should tag antlerless deer with their antlerless only tags first. For example, if you kill two antlerless deer during the firearm season, you should just use your antlerless tags. That way, you can still take a buck during the firearm season or an either-sex deer during the archery or muzzleloader season. Using the tags in this order will maximize the number of antlerless deer you can take with this license.
