Archery Question

Joe2Kool · May 25, 2020

If I understand correctly, if I draw a General, or Limited Quota tag, I can then purchase an additional tag that allows me to hunt with archery equipment in the same Region/Area. Correct?

I'm having trouble finding that on the WYG&F website. I've got a screen shot from last year, and I know it's on there, but I just can't seem to find it. Can someone post a link?

Thanks.

Yes for general.....if you draw a limited quota, it varies by unit....some are choose your weapon and limited to archery only tag holders....some units have a 2 week archery season while the type 9 can hunt the month of Sept (usually)

See Section 3. Special Archery Seasons.

If you draw a general or limited quota tag you will need to purchase the archery license also if you decide if you want to bow hunt in the archery only season, the exception is if you draw the type 9 tag archery only then you will not need to purchase the archery license for that hunt!!

Thanks guys!

Well shucks. My plan was to go a week early and bow hunt before the season started, but there is a 2 week break between archery and gun. Oh well. Just have to get there a few days early an do a little pre-season scouting!

This year they listed the special archery dates with the regular season dates for each hunt area. It's never been like that before. They used to have the archery seasons listed separately after all the regular seasons in Section 3, like in your screenshot.

What about deer

No Type 9 for deer. All the archery seasons are listed on the regs page for deer.
Deer will be Sept for archery and then most areas open for rifle on Oct 1, well many areas open on Oct 1.
You'll need to buy the archery license OTC to hunt archery season for deer, Type 9 tags do not have to buy the archery license.
