Deer firearms season begins Saturday

The deer firearms season runs Nov. 14-29 this year.

Remember, the deer firearms license allows a hunter to take only one buck. Hunters can harvest an antlerless deer during the firearms season with a firearm if they possess a deer bundle license, bonus antlerless license, resident youth consolidated hunting and trapping license, or comprehensive lifetime hunting license.

Antlerless deer taken with a firearm during the firearms season count toward the bonus antlerless quota, unless you are hunting in a deer reduction zone with the appropriate license and count the deer toward the deer reduction zone bag limit.

Bonus antlerless deer cannot be taken on all DNR properties; find information about restrictions at this link. Bonus antlerless deer cannot be taken in Benton or Tipton counties until Nov. 26.
