Archery 2011 deer hunt extended
In addition to the fall turkey hunt extension, the season for hunting deer with archery equipment has also been extended to include the nine-day November gun deer hunt.
Archery deer hunters must comply with hunter orange clothing rules during any gun deer season. The new dates for the archery deer season are now Sept. 17 ? Nov. 17 and Nov. 19 ? Jan. 8, 2011. Archery hunters should be careful to note that the archery season is closed for one day, Nov 18, the Friday before the gun deer hunt.
An archery deer hunting license and a deer carcass tag valid for tagging a deer killed with archery equipment is required to hunt deer with a bow, or with a crossbow by persons eligible to use a crossbow. As in the past, it is not legal to tag or possess a deer with an archery deer carcass tag that was shot with a firearm.
