IowaDeerHunter Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 lol yup that is the way it is, and the way party hunting works. That person has to be hunting with you though. For example, you can't just get a random land owner to buy a tag and then go hunt wherever you want...they have to be hunting with you in your "party".

smallmunster Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Party hunting is allowed in the November Antlerless-only, Shotgun 1, Shotgun 2 and the January Antlerless-only seasons. In muzzleloader and archery seasons party hunting is not allowed. Some types of doe tags are county or zone specific so make sure you buy one legal for the area you plan on being in. As stated before, if you want to use someone else's tag they must be hunting with you, not sitting at home waiting for your call. They must also be willing to put their tag on your deer, you will want to make sure of this before you shoot one. It can be a problem if you shoot a deer and the other guy doesn't want to use his tag for your deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
