What will your stratagy be as far as purchasing your tags.
Will you start out with a "bonus and archery" tag in your possesion or just buy one either sex archery tag?
Do you think "how" folks buy their tags will have any effect on management decisions?
For example, if the DNR fails to sell very many "bonus" tags in the early season, will that be looked upon as "failure"....as far as the new regulation that allows those bonus tags to be used in the early archery part of the season?
With the new computerized selling system, it's going to be real easy for the DNR to see how much demand there actually WAS for those early season bonus tags.

Further........
For those who DON'T have to purchase tags.....
How will you check your early season antlerless harvests?
Will you "claim" it's a bonus deer or will you "claim" it's a archery tagged deer?

I have a lifer license and will tag the first as bonus.
cambygsp-
Question #1- Can a hunter purchase a bonus tag without purchasing an archery or firearms permit?
Question #2- If a hunter has a firearms tag, is it for buck only???

If a lifetime license holder was wanting to get the most out of his tags he would probably opt to use ONE of the archery tags for antlerless first as it is weapon specific. The bonus tags are not.
If he saved his bonus tags, down the road he could hunt with whatever hunting tool he wanted to while attempting to fill the bonus tags.
If he had used his bonus tags in early archery then he would would be stuck with using a weapon specific tag later.

I'll only use bonus tags in early archery if both regular archery tags are already used up.I'm not going to waste them if I don't have to.I could use them later if I wanted to.

Question #2- If a hunter has a firearms tag, is it for buck only??? Question#1- Yes you can purchase and use a bonus tag without another license. Question #2- A firearms tag would be buck only, the rest are bonus tags. A muzzleloader tag would be just like the archery tag. One of either sex, unless you already used your buck tag in archery or firearms season. That is the way I understand it. It's been a few years since I have bought a tag. That is what I used to do for deer hunting in college was buy just a doe tag for firearms. Now I just use the LL |

Woody- I understand your logic, but I want to make sure that we as archers take advantage of the bonus tags in early season....if not, they may be taken out of early archery season. No demand, no supply!!!!

No demand, no supply!!!! I think what the DNR will look at is so many dead deer in early archery and not what tag is used. An example is the past firearm seasons.. I don't know of anywhere where the DNR segregated the harvest figures by tags.. I doubt very seriuosly if they would do it in early archery either. Since the OBR trial started the take in early archery is way off. I believe that the early season bonus tags are here to stay.. |

Since I'm one of those dummies who only hunts with a bow I will buy my tags the same way as always. I always have two tags on me at all times just in case I get two oppurtunities during the same hunt. I always buy my two archery tags and then bonus tags as I need them.

I've got a lifetime license so that takes some of the guess work out of it for me. I just slap a written paper tag on them. |
