In Illinois, resident bowhunters can take two antlered bucks and unlimited antlerless deer per year. In Wisconsin they are limited to one antlered buck, although they can take a second by bowhunting with a gun tag during gun season thanks to the lesser weapon rule. I think the CWD zone may still be unlimited antlered deer via ear-a-buck regulations, but I’m not sure. I haven’t hunted there since 2010. For all intents and purposes, antlerless deer are unlimited in most of the state.

In PA every hunter is only allowed one antlered buck per year which is included in your license, which you can shoot during any season. If you want to kill a doe, you need to send an application for $6.50 and can only use it in the zone specified on the tag. You can then apply for a second doe tag for another $6.50 if there are leftovers, but no guarantee. You can also get special tags called DMAP tags which allow you to kill a deer on certain property (a lot of farmers sell them).

One bear in the fall, but the tag costs $25 and the season only lasts 4 days. This year they added a few days for archery though so that helps.

You’re allowed one turkey either a gobbler or a hen in the fall which is included in your license, and in the spring just a gobbler.

Small game is mostly 6/day.

My knowledge of Elk is limited, but I believe you have to apply for one for around $10 and hope you get one. This year they’re only granting 86 licenses – 26 bulls and 60 cows.

In Ga, you can kill up to 10 does and two bucks. One must have 4 points on one side. But there are a ton of check in wma hunts that allow you to kill bonus deer. I’ve spoken with many people who have legally killed 10+ bucks per year.

You can kill two black bears and three gobblers.

I’d need to sell my car to pay for the processing fee each season

Naw just learn to do the butchering yourself. 😀

In South Dakota last year with archery you could get one any deer state wide or in specific county plus up to four doe tags in some counties. Plus you can still draw rifle tags (up to three-four in some counties) on top of the limit of archery tags.

Elk are draw only and it takes about 14 years of applying to even have a chance of drawing one.

3 a day pheasants (roosters only)

I haven a clue for turkey

Our duck and goose seasons are very liberal.

I haven’t even looked at the regs yet this year, just been to darn busy with working in several different states this year.

In NY, you get a bow/muzzle season either sex tag, one regular gun season buck tag( that you can fill with bow, gun or muzzle) and 1 to 3 doe tags, depending on the year and the region in which you choose to apply to hunt the doe. Plus Two fall and two spring turkey tags and a bear tag. The out of state license is $110, and only includes two deer tags.

CA: Over the counter- 2 deer tags a year, 1 bear tag, unlimited hogs all year. The rest, Elk, Pronghorn, bighorns are all lottery.

P. S. the deer tags are buck only, with a few doe/eithersex draws

Holy cow I’d never thought I’d write this :

NJ wins! Really, DEC doing a great job managing deer herd IMHO. Used to be there was shotgun “buck week” then a doe day. Virtually no archery season….fast forward 35 years or so….

Early archery starts mid September. Allowed one buck and at least one antlerless deer per day…then fall bow, permit bow, muzzleloader, permit muzzleloader, shotgun, permit shotgun and winter bows ends mid February. You can legally take one buck per season and at least one antlerless deer per day per season….

Some folks complain they don’t see the number of bucks they used too ( this is a questionable issue as some folks shoot anything with a bone on its head here while others generally will take a doe instead, preferring to let Jr grow up a bit ) however almost all state the overall size, body and rack, have substantially increased

I’m fortunate to have a fair amount of private land to hunt on….access is an issue as most of the best hunting is on private land. There is however a good amount of public land available ….it’s finding a hunter willing to venture beyond the eyesite of his/her truck …:roll:

Yup! :lol:8)

I’ve looked at the Washington State regs and after a few pages it was very clear to me I would need a guide and interpreter just to figure out what they are trying to say.

A lot of deer move inside the city limits as it’s safer dodging cars and more rhododendrons to eat. Archers can get permits though if they agree to hunt from up in the air on a upper deck or tree stand.

Do telephone poles count? Seems like a pretty good spot for a stand to me 😆
