standman Report post Posted September 25, 2013 It's one antlered deer period. If you kill an antlered deer with a bow you are done for the year. If you kill one with a rifle you are done for the year. It doesn't matter the species. You kill one you are done. I killed an archery deer this past January. I am done till January 2014. Long wait lol. So it's just one and done. Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scooter Report post Posted September 25, 2013 One antlered deer per calendar year (January 1st through December 31st). Species is dependent on what tag you have drawn, or with non-permit tags used during archery-only seasons you are allowed any legal antlered deer. There is no doe harvest in Arizona. They are illegal to shoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLW Report post Posted September 25, 2013 multi doe's? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! the only doe you will be getting is if you hit it with your car and get a salvage tag from highway patrol. we have bad drought, lots o lions and 10s of thousands of coyotes that play heck on fawn survival rate. they have also re introduced the mexican grey wolves and are trying to expand their range!

James Incidently, fawn survival in 27 seems to be very low this year. I got very few on cam this summer & saw zero during 4 days of hunting over there.

kingbeer Report post Posted September 25, 2013 wow. i didnt know that at all. so going for a mule deer and if you get one you cant go for an elk draw? that sucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigorange Report post Posted September 25, 2013 wow. i didnt know that at all. so going for a mule deer and if you get one you cant go for an elk draw? that sucks Nope...not exactly what was said. Elk and deer are not same. If you kill a deer in Jan, then you can't draw a deer tag in the Fall and kill another deer in the Fall...or in the December OTC archery season. Or if you already drew a Fall deer tag, and then kill a deer during the archery season in August...your deer tag you drew becomes void. It can be a bit confusing, especially coming from another state where the limits are usually by season and not by year. I moved to AZ from TN and took me a while to fully undertand it too. Easiest way to think of it is one deer, whitetail or mulie, bucks only, per year...period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingbeer Report post Posted September 25, 2013 well that helps to understand that. at least i will be able to go for elk (if drawn) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

standman Report post Posted September 25, 2013 />well that helps to understand that. at least i will be able to go for elk (if drawn) There are some over the counter, limited opportunity elk tags that you can buy every year. Limited opportunity meaning not many elk that can be hard to find. There are some people that are getting pretty good at these hunts. Just for your information.

You'll be out there hunting and having a good time outdoors, becoming a better hunter, and helping out the deer and other game populations by eliminating a predator or two...make sure you get a lion tag too. I buy one every January with my deer tag... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingbeer Report post Posted September 25, 2013 i hear you on that one. but that just seems bad to take an animal and leave it there. i know that it is a coyot but still..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scooter Report post Posted September 26, 2013 Skin it out and make a pair of sneaky quiet stalk slippers (moccasins)... Or a fur liner for a traditional back quiver... there's lots of cool stuff you can try with coyote pelts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
