Can I bowhunt Oct 14-17?

Hey guys – Can you tell me what you know about bowhunting the weekend of Oct 14th-17th? (Herd Control and CWD Units – Oct. 14-17 (Antlerless deer only))

I was reading the docs and I hunt 60A and/or 61 so if I understand it right I could hunt 60A but not 61 as 61 is a Herd control Unit?

I only ask is that is a weekend I oked with the wife to head hunting so I thought I better double checked

Here is the paragraph and a link to the doc that has be asking the question.

This carcass tag is weapon specific and can only be used with a valid Archery License during an open archery season for a buck deer harvested with legal archery equipment, except during Oct. 14-17 and Dec. 9-12 in units that have the antlerless-only hunts.

If 60A is not a herd control then game on

You can hunt 61 but have to wear orange and can only shoot antlerless deer

Alright well that sounds like a plan then I guess I will make sure to put my stand in the woods on the other side of the road

We could push one woods and be 60A put standers on the other side and shoot in 61 :-). Can make it a little confusing at times

Just like Pat said, you are good to go!

I’m in the same situation as you. My cabin is within 1/4 mile of 3 zone boundaries, 2 of which are herd control. I’ve hung a few stands just for this particular weekend, so when the rest of my hunting is taking out the rifles and hunting slicks, I can keep bowhunting bucks.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I am not as lucky both 72 and 59C are herd control I may just have to fish Saugerama

Looks like a nice cold snap coming in also Stupid “T” zone

Here’s a pic from last year during “T-zone” in Buffalo County. 30 yards from where i have a stand this year and where i sat at a base of a tree last year. I didn’t head out last year to hunt during the antlerless season and i won’t this year either…. knowing my luck this would happen again.
