herriman08 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Because of my stupidness. first snow of the season today and i cant be out in the woods. first because i have class in the morning and at night and because i already shot an 8 point. but what really grinds me about shooting the buck in archery season is that now i cant get an rifle tag. this is crazy. dont get me wrong i would have never passed the buck up any day of the week but you cant get a rifle tag if you shoot a buck during archery season. now come on that is a little extreme dont you think. this rule was changed this year along with the combo buck tag of 3 on one side and 4 on one side. oh well at least i am going to canada on fri, gona have to shoot an even bigger one:p. cant complain to much. will post pics as soon as i get them on my laptop.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Texas works the same way. You get X number of tags and they are for archery and firearm season. If you use up all of your tags during archery, you're out of luck for gun season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganHunter Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 well i thought the change was a good idea, buy one tag shoot one buck any size, buy two buck tags get to shoot two bucks, but I would say your pretty lucky to have killed a buck. So what school do u go to, Tech??? I go to NMU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herriman08 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 really i go to northern to. i drive a black dodge diesel with stacks if you see me wave. im not sure what to think. as far as the limits for the combo theyt need to get rid of the combo and put restrictions on the single tag. that is what they are going for bigger bucks right. if i am not mistaken they have done this before. but ya i do think that i am lucky but i did scout for a long time before bow season started and didnt see a deer until this buck came in. i knew he was there becasue of my camera pics, so there was a lot of hard work into him alos. but finding a mature buck like him is tuff to do in michigan.

nhbowhunter Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I really don't see anything to complain about. You are given X number of tags to shoot X number of deer. Once your tags are done you stop hunting. It is up to the hunter to decide how many tags they are going to purchase and then decide how they are going to use them. You chose to use you tag during archery season and scored a great buck, I would say that you made a wise choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did decide to tag a buck during archery, but i wish i could get a rifle tag also, but cant have it all. Its my fault that i didnt know i couldnt get a rifle tag also, and i am not trying to blame anyone but my self. i should have read the rules a little more carefully but hey oh well. I was fortunate, very fortunate. i am just mad at myself (should have mentioned that above). i would have bought the combo if i would have known. i will plost pics when i can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rad_112176 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I have hunted MI for years and don't really know if i agree with the rule either. I just don't think you should be made to buy both tags at one time or you are out. I have always bought the combo, but that is only cause a friend was working the counter the year it started so he gave me all the info before i bought it. Something along the lines of maybe it costing more money if you buy them seperate may be better. Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Remember, you still get 2 antlerless tags also that you can use in rifle or archery season. IMO, if you hunt both seasons, you might as well get the combo tag. Costs the same but gives you an extra tag in each season (use one in archery and one in gun, or both in archery or both in gun), or they can be used for antlerless in archery as well.
