All deer licenses (archery, firearms, muzzleloader and bonus permits) go on sale Tuesday, Aug. 1. Once on sale, licenses may be purchased at any time before or during the season.
Landowners who own at least 80 acres of agricultural or grazing land and allow public deer hunting on that land during the deer hunting season can obtain a free license that allows the taking of one additional antlerless deer in either-sex, two-deer limit, three-deer limit and five-deer limit areas.

After a deer season is open, all licenses and permits are valid the same day of purchase if purchased before legal shooting hours. If the license or permit is purchased after legal shooting hours have begun, it is valid the following day.
- A person may purchase no more than one firearms, muzzleloader and archery deer license in a calendar year.
- The bag limit in antlerless lottery areas for firearms and muzzleloader hunters is one deer, which must be a legal buck unless hunters apply for and receive an antlerless permit in the lottery. The permit gives hunters the choice of taking either a legal buck or an antlerless deer.
- Bonus, early antlerless season and disease management permits may be purchased in addition to regular licenses. Bonus permits may be purchased throughout the season but must be in possession when taking deer. Regular licenses and bonus permits may be used in any order.
- A person may not take or tag deer without the appropriate license or permit. The term “take” includes attempting to take deer, deer drives, spotting or otherwise assisting another person in taking deer.
Tagging your deer
Your deer license and site tag comes as a two-part form. The upper half is the site tag for tagging the deer in the field. The lower half is the deer license and registration slip. Hunters must do the following:
- Detach the site tag from the deer license/registration slip.
- Before moving the deer, the hunter whose name is on the license validates the tag by using a knife or similar sharp object to cut out the notches indicating the month, date and time of day the deer was killed (AM/PM).
- If more than one month, date or time is cut out or marked, the tag becomes invalid.
