Deer bundle question

[indybassin]

Can all three be taken with archery equipment?

Or are we limited to two antler-less or one antler-less and one buck?


Thanks for the response.

Could I use that last antlerless on my property with archery?

In other words, if I take all 3 with my crossbow on private property, is that legal?

The Deer License Bundle was designed to take the place of three (3) deer licenses and allow for the taking of one (1) antlered deer and two (2) antlerless deer. These deer may be taken in the Archery, Firearms, or Muzzleloader seasons.

If you are hunting the with the bundle in the archery season, here is how it would work. Your one (1) antlered deer and one (1) antlerless deer would be your seasonal bag limit. The second antlerless deer would be a bonus anlerless. This is where more explaination is needed.

Since the second antlerless would be a bonus antlerless, the regulations governing that would apply. You would be restricted and unable to take that deer (bonus antlerless) on certain state properties. So you would need to check if hunting DNR properties if the bonus antlerless license can be used there and the dates that it can be used.

Also, if you decide to buy an additional bonus antlerless license, it will be considered your first (for pricing) even though you already had taken a bonus antlerless deer under the bundle.

I hope this answered your question. If you need further or I just made it too confusing, let me know and I will try to word it differently. Thanks.
