Can a hunter during buck firearms season substitute a bow for a firearm without holding an archery license?
Yes. A bow can be substituted for a gun during any firearms season except the muzzleloader deer season. Bow hunters during any firearm deer season must wear 400 sq. in. of blaze orange clothing. Q. If I kill a buck on the first day of the buck season on private land in one of the 45 counties open to antlerless deer hunting, can I use my RG or RRG to take an antlerless deer on the second day? No. The Class RG or RRG stamp is only valid for taking a buck during the buck firearms season. A Class N/NN stamp is required for taking an antlerless deer during the antlerless season.
