Not only do Muzzleloader hunters have to shoot antlerless deer, but so do the archery hunters. If you elect to not hunt with a muzzleloader and go deer hunting with your bow, you can NOT shoot a buck on the 12th and 13th.
Page 10 of the regulations, in the section of "A Deer Hunter CAN Do The Following", rule #8.
"Deer archery hunt during the antlerless deer muzzleloader season. Archery hunters must comply with the hunter orange requirement and can only take antlerless deer during the season."
I'm guessing that there will be some bucks checked in on Monday. :smiley_chinrub:
I never liked the idea of losing the bonus days after the Deer Gun Season and having to live with ML hunters wondering through or "pushing" the sections in the area. If there's enough hunters out stirring up the deer, they won't settle down for two weeks. :smiley_depressive:
