deer season

Post by Arkbow »

Arkansas season is oct 1 thru feb 28 with no breaks; some WMA close jan 31 but most goes thru feb 28; total deer is 4 but only 2 can be bucks and we have a 3 point system that requires a buck to have 3 points on one side for it to be legal;
Hunt hard, respect what you hunt and waste no meat;

The season dates vary a little here (Louisiana) depending on what region you are hunting in. For me, it's from 1 Oct through 15 February. Can take 3 bucks and 3 does per season regardless of whether you use archery, primitive, or gun.

If you count all of the days that a crossbow 'can be' used (including during the gun seasons), it comes to 66 days here in KY. As for the limits, throughout the entire state you're only allowed 1 antlered deer, the antlerless harvest varies by the zone designation (1-4). In Zone 1 counties (39 of the 120 counties in KY) there is NO LIMIT on antlerless deer. In Zones 2-4, there is a 4 deer limit (only 1 of which can be antlered).

Here in my new "Home Away From Home" in Nova Scotia you can only use a crossbow during the regular deer hunting season (rifle season). It is about 5 weeks and you can take one deer.
