So to be clear there’s the option to get 2 bucks and 2 does this season if on different days during shotgun season or is it tag 2 and then tag another 2 on same day? Obviously a very remote possibility here.
No, No. Whitetail doesn't work like that. Your hunting license allows you to harvest 2 antlered a ZERO antlerless deer. You can only harvest what you have a tag for. Antlerless deer tags are available by lottery and in limited quantities. You have to enter the lottery by July (when I opened this thread originally). If you miss the deadline or don't win in the lottery, than no antlerless deer for you. Some zones have more tags than lotto applicants. So everyone is a winner. Other zones have people who have been trying for 10 years and haven't won.
The zones that have extra tags will sell them as surplus tags. This is only in Zones 10 and 11 each year. But they're gone in about 24 hours from the day they go on sale, so you have to be Johnny on the spot. You can only buy 1 in a 24 hour period insuring others have access. So you'll pretty much get one if you're on the ball. Other zones will not have surplus tags.
Please read up on the regulations. You have to be on point with this stuff as environmental police don't play games. You don't want to get jammed up breaking the law with a firearm in this state (or any state but especially here)... Someone jammed up violating hunting regs may not be "suitable" in the eyes of the chief, if you get my drift. You need to know what an "anter" vs "antlerless" deer is too. It's NOT buck v doe. A Buck CAN be antlerless and require an antlerless tag. You need to know when that's the case.
Get yourself read up on the regulations...
