POSTERS NOTE: I actually feel sorry for Mr. Bloom; it must be hard to keep track of these things and get them right 100% of the time. Lets not be too hard on him....
To Wild Bulletin subscribers:
A notice sent Wednesday to Wild Bulletin subscribers corrected dates previously printed in the DNR Hunting/Trapping Guide for using of bonus antlerless deer hunting licenses in “A” counties. The dates in the Guide were wrong.
A sharp-eyed Wild Bulletin subscriber caught an additional mistake in both the Guide and the correction notice that indicated bonus antlerless licenses could be used in the special antlerless season in counties with an “A” quota. Tipton and Wells are the only counties with an “A” quota this year.
As our subscriber correctly pointed out, “A” counties are not eligible for the special antlerless season. Neither are counties with a bonus quota of 1, 2, or 3. Counties must have a bonus quota of at least 4 to participate in the special antlerless season, which begins Dec. 26.
So, let’s try again.
For counties with an “A” designation, a bonus antlerless license can be used to take one antlerless deer from Nov. 27 through Jan. 4 (the last four days of the regular firearms season, plus muzzleloader and archery seasons). Bonus antlerless licenses cannot be used in an “A” county prior to Nov. 27.
We apologize for the errors.

Was this wrong in the regulations handbook? Just wondering what will happen if someone read it in the handbook and didn't see this notice and shoots extra does in the late season. Sticky situation.

Span870,
Not sure, but I'd guess it is the same...or should be.
Sasquatch,
I think Ol' Phil just releases what others at the DNR give him. They have a lot to keep track of. Maybe they need to run every press release past Morrison first?

I put the disclaimer on there in hopes of heading off those one or two "Negative Neds" that always seem to chime in on posts like this. lol
