Antler Restriction Regulations

Tagging Option for Antlerless Deer Hunters - 2007    

An antlerless deer hunter, with an unused license valid for an antlered deer and an unused antlerless license for the DMU in which they are hunting may tag a male antlerless deer with the antlered deer license. Note: Both licenses must be in the hunter's possession at the time of harvest. All deer must be immediately tagged.

A male antlerless deer, often called a "button buck," means a male deer without antlers or with antlers where the longest antler extends less than three inches above the skull. See  "Button Bucks", Hunters, Learn to Identify

Specific DMU Regulations - 2007    

Persons hunting South Fox Island (DMU 245), Drummond Island (DMU 117) and DMU 135 area permitted to take an antlered deer only if it has at least one antler with two or more antler points, each one or more inches in length.

Persons hunting in DMUs 045 and 122 are permitted to take an antlered deer only if it has at least one antler with three or more antler points, each one or more inches in length.

In these five units the restricted combination kill tag remains limited to a deer with at least four points on one antler. Your archery license, or combination license when used as an archery tag, is still vaild for taking an antlerless deer in these units.
