A doe tag is also valid for an antlered deer.

Well thats good news at least and yes it is a great tag. Must have been sold out in under 10 min.

Long gone are the days walking into the service center Aug 1 (or later ) and picking and choosing.

Now just need to hear about my 60 tag.

gotta love 88, up to 6 additional tags if needed. Nothing for 89 which is a bummer

I got mine yesterday as well for 87. Called around 11:30am and got right through.

Anyone else hate how long that lady talks for when you call in?!! After you push 1 she goes on another long rant.

Second round went on sale at midnight.

Get em while they're hot.

Does anyone have a link as to how many deer additional tags there are remaining for various wmu's?
