Depends on what part of the State you are in. Where I hunt, first Saturday in November until the first Sunday in January. 1 Buck and 2 Does in my county. Who knows what the new regulations will bring this year. Got a buddy of mine that has way to many deer on their ranch, so they can technically start gun hunting the opening day of bow season, October 1 usually, and as many tags as they have is what they can take. I've been with him on a couple of doe reduction hunts with my ML, and it was quite a blast.
