As a follow on to the question asked by jjm1966. I have the bundle license this year and bagged a doe on opening day of firearms season on private property in Benton county which is designated an A county.
1) On the same private property, during the remaining muzzleloader and archery season, can I still take another doe or buck with muzzleloader or bow utilizing the unfilled muzzleloader and archery portion of the bundle license? 2) During the special antlerless season, could another doe be taken on the same A county private property with a firearm or would the doe taken earlier be counted as the bonus antlerless? 3) On FWA properties, I would be limited to harvesting a buck only with muzzleloader or bow during the remaining seasons until the overall license limits are reached, correct?
Thanks for all the assistance interpreting the regulations!

1) yes. The bundle license allows for the taking of three does or two does and a buck using whatever equipment is in season. The archery bag limit is either two does or a buck and a doe. however, under the bundle, you could take the third doe and count it as a bonus antlerless as long as you are within the county limit. In firearms season any doe taken by firearm would be considered a bonus antlerless because the bag limit on firearm is buck only. In muzzleloader, you can take a buck or a doe. the second deer taken using a muzzleloader during muzzleloader season would be considered a bonus antlerless deer. any doe taken during the special bonus antlerless season is obvoiusly considered a bonus antlerless deer.
So if your county is an 'A' county and you can only take one bonusless antler deer and you already accomplished that in firearms season, you would have to stay within the muzzleloader and archery bag limits to remain legal in that same county.
2) No. Please refer back to the answer of number 1
3) a person cannot use a bonus antlerless license on a fish and wildlife property. Therefore, you have to stay within the bag limits of archery and muzzleloader while hunting those properties. If you already filled your muzzleloader and archery bag limits, you would NOT be permitted to take an additional doe on these properties.
Let me know if this made sense or if I need to clarify anything. Safe hunting.
