jjb4900 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I can't find anything that says you can't.......and their regular season buck tag can be used for either sex during the youth hunt weekend as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunt pride Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 Are they allowed to take an antlerless deer on a DMP in the special youth hunt weekend and then a buck during the regular season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
