Couple of Deer Reduction Zonr Hunt questions

[esshup]

Morrison, first off, thank you for taking the time to answer all of our questions.

Here is mine.

I have a lifetime comprehensive license.

I have taken a doe and a small buck in the Lake County Deer Reduction zone. (doe first, then buck).

I was talking to a client that owns property in the LaPorte County Deer Reduction zone. He wanted to know if I wanted to deer hunt on his property from now until the end of the Deer Reduction Season there in LaPorte County.

My question to you is am I able to take a buck in that LaPorte Deer Reduction Zone considering that I have taken a buck in the Lake County Deer Reduction zone, and if I can, does a doe have to be shot and checked in first from the LaPorte Deer Reduction Zone? (i.e., earn a buck for Laporte County Deer Reduction Zone irregardless of what happened in the Lake County Deer Reduction Zone.)

Thanks!!

All Deer Reduction Zones are governed by the same regulations. The bag limit for the deer reduction zones are as a whole not as individual zones. A person would be required to take no more than ten (10) deer in the reductions zones combined with only one (1) being an an antlered deer.

(1) From September 15 through January 31 of the following year in a deer reduction zone.
(2) Under this subsection:
(A) An individual must take not more than ten (10) deer of which only one (1) may be antlered.
(B) At least one (1) antlerless deer must be taken in a deer reduction zone prior to taking an antlered deer.
(3) A deer taken under this subsection does not count against a bag limit for deer set elsewhere in this rule.
(4) Deer reduction zones subject to the deer reduction season shall be established on an annual basis by a temporary rule authorized by the director.
