We see deer all the time.
Our hunting deer limit is this...
Archery, which includes crossbows... 15 antlerless deer.
Shotgun/rifle season...10 antlerless deer.
Muzzleloader season...10 antlerless deer.
There is no daily limit.
The middle counties, It's called the suburban deer zone... which 2 of them border my county has an "Unlimited" deer limit for archery for antlerless deer.
Archery season is 5 months long.
We do protect the bucks you can only shoot 2 bucks in any of the seasons.

 

['Ol Grandad]

In WA. you're allowed 1.

 

[Lt. Donn]

Not saying it is ethical...but here you can bait & take from your own backyard...many, many folks do just that...they use crossbows, keep to themselves and tell no one...and with the ensuing recession raising food prices, Bambi had better hide

 

[redrick]

We are allowed 6 total , 3 antlered and 3 antlerless . You can harvest 2 a day .

 

[Jonny Yuma]

One, buck only, and it's a limited draw. You can't just go buy a deer tag over the counter.

I have an acquaintance that claims he killed 65 deer last season. Most of the deer were harvested over bait. Perfectly legal here. Can you say, "like shooting monkeys in a barrel"? Sure you can. He was actually selling venison from the back of his truck in underprivileged parts of the county. I'd say the efforts of the DNR to reestablish the population of whitetail deer in the state has been a quite robust success.

In Alabama, it is a deer a day for anterless and a total of three bucks. For bow and gun, that would total 118 unless you killed one of each sex on the four day youth hunt.

White-Tailed Antlered Buck Limit

That's an amazing number. I have hunted every state west of the Mississippi River in the last 30 years except Hawaii, I've never heard of bag limits like that.
I know Florida used to have no bag limit, and some states have 5 or 6 deer limits, but 65?
What state is this? Not criticizing you but this just doesn't sound legal.

You're correct. It's not a bag limit, it's not legal, and it certainly isn't ethical. This happens when game laws are not enforced.

In MA 2 is the bag limit.

Same here, baiting deer is legal on private property. Its ok to bait your backyard and shoot deer with archery, which includes crossbows. The only law is you have to be 50 yards from another house or occupied structure. The distance for firearms hunting is 150 yards. But if you get someones permission you can hunt their backyard. There is no distance rule from houses if you have permission. There is no law that says you can't shoot a deer from your deck or even inside the house. But it is unlawful to bait deer on State owned lands.

 

[dresserisland]

Good question. I live in Illinois.
As far as I can tell, you are limited to 2 antlered deer (by any method), but an unlimited number of antlerless deer taken by archery.

 

[fjefman]

In GA it is usually 2 bucks and 10-12 does...but the order in which they need to be harvested and the specifics to vary year to year and county to count.

 

[fjefman]

I also hunt in Wisconsin every year and I'm amazed at how different the rules are...usually just 2-3 total...doe is often first...

 

[Wakeboardaddict]

My zone in Mn is 3. One buck

And I know many have a problem with this...until you consider, most every hunter I know in my area hunts for food and not a trophy, even the Trophy hunters give away the meat, and GA has so many Deer, our auto insurance rates are elevated due to all the strikes...either (we) manage this resource, or disease will manage it for us.

We have the same problem in Oregon, and elk strikes too. We have had to change registration of all of our vehicles to our out of state winter home to avoid the increased rates from this. What sucks the most is losing the personalized Oregon license plates I had on my old jeep and my Kawasaki since I got my license at 16. Oh well...
