I am new to hunting and have a question regarding my deer tag and any help would be greatly appreciated!!
So I applied back in June for my tag and I received a 'antlerless bow only' tag for my home WMU. Am I able to use that tag for a buck using a rifle in another WMU?
Thanks!
Yes. You can use your buck tag in any WMU.
had that come up just yesterday....lady bought her tag (Buck) for hunting in the Bancroft area and wanted to party hunt with us down here next week...she wasn't sure, but YES she will be joining us.
Ok great thanks. So even though my tag says 'antlerless bow only' I can still use a rifle on a buck elsewhere.
Yes I find it poorly worded but yes...... Your initial tag generally speaking is good for an antlered deer across the province with an open gun or bow season but can only use a bow to kill an antlerless deer and only in that WMU listed on the tag. ....................if that makes senseQuote:

Thank you all!
dutch, can that tag not be used in a controlled hunt if you have been registered to hunt, in a specific area?
You would have had to apply and be accepted into the control hunt... Too late to do that as the application for the control hunt entry ends at the beginning of the summer (June I think).Quote:

A bows only tag is just that, bows only. That is the only seasons it can be used for. So not during rifle. Lots of bad info going around here. So I can use my additional 82a bow only antlerless anytime 🙄

Not entirely true. I see no misinformation here at all. I have an antlerless seal that says bows only in WMU 93. I can still tag a buck in any WMU, any legal firearm. The bows only, only applies to the doe. Had I been drawn in the controlled hunt, my validation would have specified antlered or antlerless . I could have used my “bows only” antlerless seal on either sex, during the controlled hunt, shotgun or ML.Quote:

Right .lots if folks need to re read the regsQuote:

I dont get a second tag for the controlled hunt.so my archery antlerless tag becomes my Controlled Hunt game seal
