Due to my schedule I can not get out as much as I would like this season. Can I buy 2 tags and use them both?
Not a likely situation but I would hate to pass on some meat for the freezer due to the fact that I dont have a tag with me.

I don't quite get your meaning.
I bought one Gun, one Muzzleloader and one Bonus Antlerless. Potentially 3 deer in the two seasons. (I believe I'm reading the regs rignt...)

yes you are allowed 2 deer (1 buck & 1 doe or 2 doe) for archery, if you dont get a buck with archery you can take it with firearms season or if you still miss out on firearms season you can take the buck with muzzle loader season. but you have to have the appropreate take for the season... then if you purchace bonus anterless you can take them with the appropreate weapon for the season. hope this helps and not confusing?

It takes a Philadelphia lawyer to figure out our tag system.
I'm glad that have a Lifetime License and don't have to worry about that. Number 14XX.
I do think that under the present tags system there are some major problems.
1) With the tiered price system for antlerless bonus tags it would be silly to buy a second archery tag because you can use the "bonus tags" at any time.. Buy one archery tag (for a buck hopefully) and then start working on your bonus tags. $24 for the first and then $15 from then on. IMO - The second archery tag is obsolete.
2) Purchasing a tag for a buck in archery seasons and then if not successful purchasing another buck tag for firearm season and then if not successful purchasing another buck tag for muzzleloader season is not fair to hunters.
This system was set up a long time ago when we could take a buck with EACH tag. That is no longer relevant and needs to be changed to a buck tag period..
3) The general firearm tags is a buck only. To encourage deer hunters to pass up that yearling buck and take a doe that tag needs to be changed to an either sex tag. That would also help in taking of does.
This whole license structure thing needs to be addressed and pretty quick too.

If they did, I'd bet the individual price for a buck tag would probably go up to at least $35 if not closer to $50 which may cause us to either lose hunters or, unfortunately, gain poachers.

The extra archery tags are for UZ deer. You used to get one now you can have 4.

So, I have the Archery tag right now. I can go online and buy the bonus antlerless tag tonight. Go hunting tomorrow and get a Buck and Doe or a Doe and Doe correct? I dont have to use my first archery tag then apply and get my bonus tag. I know its not likely but I dont want show at a check station with 2 deer and get in trouble.
Thanks

Forget buying a second archery tag if you plan on buying more bonus tags. They get cheaper.

There's a problem I run into with number 1. If I'm fortunate to nail a buck with my archery license early, I can no longer hunt public land until and only during muzzleloader. Because Bonus Licenses aren't usually allowed. The extra archery tag allows me to hunt does on public land until muzzleloader season.

YOU can hunt public land. There are 7 or 8 FWA,s that you can,t use bonus tags on but there good at HNF and all of the state forests.

Only 3 FWA's do: Hovey Lake, Minnehaha and Jasper-Pulaski. As far as I know there is no public land in NorthCentral Indiana near me that allows Bonus Licenses. Jasper-Pulaski is the nearest at about one and a half hours from home. Now that I think about it, I might have to try it...

OK I don't know what equipment you have, but limited time and wanting meat in freezer: M/L season maybe the best time for you. I know it is late in the season but M/L tag is good for a deer of either sex. So with one tag you can shoot any "freeze meat" that meets your standards.
