About $7 for a doe tag. Certain areas deer numbers are low, otherwise it would be nice to just get a either or tag with your license. No shortage of deer in my area!

Thanks for the info. I suspect Southern states will go that route at some point. We have newbies moving in from blue states right and left. New couple moved in about quarter mile from me from Connecticut. He's ok, she's a bit strange. A fox was spotted in their yard and they were afraid it would get her cats. Wanted me to shoot \trap it. I told them not to leave cat food outside, that was what it was after. Not her cats.

I was able to get online around 3 in the afternoon and get a 2G doe tag with no problems. Those used to be hard to get. This a long range only tag for me. If I'm unable to get upstate to hunt the second and third weekends of rifle season then it won't get used. Not a big deal with the amount of deer I've been seeing in bear season.

I woke up at 8 and logged in on my phone and was already number around 2000. After I showered and got morning started figured I'd drive to Walmart and just see if there was a line. Walked back to sporting goods was only one guy in line 5 minutes later had my license and a 2g tag before my queue was ready on my phone,so i was happy . Last year took hours and hours on phone because lines were way to long for me to want to stand in. Now tomorrow when rest of state goes on sell it may be a mad house again.

Well, I had to wait until after work on the 24th before I could get my tag.
Went into Dicks and license and 2G doe tag no problem.
Buddy waited till Friday to get his.
He was told 2G sold out for doe tag.
Ya snooze, ya lose.

As I grew up in 2G, I would have never through it was so highly sought after.

I went to WalMart & got my license yesterday along with a doe tag & archery stamp. Little over $44.00 But then WMU 5A is usually easy to get. I usually make a trip to the court house to buy the other 5 tags.

I'm going out shortly to get my license and a doe tag. 1A has plenty of tags but I usually settle for 2 doe tags. We'll only eat 2 deer a year and I like to have a second doe tag in case I don't get a buck.
I just started a new job a couple years ago and lost about 2 weeks vacation which really puts a damper on my time hunting which is why I'm glad to see the possibility of some extra Sunday hunting.

I'm not sure if I'm gonna like the late archery/ML season. Now that people are going to be using rifles. I always liked the fact it was a harder hunt. The deer are always more aware. They keep their senses on high alert. And with a bow. It is hard scoring. And the weather is usually pretty harsh also. Usually cold & windy. It is hard to sit in a climber all day, waiting on deer. Get yourself a 5A tag. And I bet I can find you a spot to hunt on one of your days off.
My guess is that it won't change much, the vast majority of people are tagged out or wrapped up deer hunting for the year so the crowds should be thin.
I was planning on hunting it with my old school rifles like the 1873 Winchester or my 1874 Sharps but our first child is set to be born mid January so I'm not sure how much I'll actually get to hunt since camp is 3 hours from home and I'm not sure I'll want to be that far from home the wife so close to her due date.

I haven't looked at the regulations and it's is the first I've heard of this. So the late season is now a extended rifle season?
Very kind offer and I appreciate it. I'm about as far west as you can go in 1A before hitting Ohio and it would probably be a 4 hour drive to get to 5A for me.

When you shoot a doe.... you kill 3 deer....
doe tags helped along with wolves to ruin our hunting area in Wis.

Yep. That's why Pa is limiting how many doe tags are available in a few of the WMU's. Deer density is very low in these mostly mountainous areas but there's lots of hunting camps which puts the tags in high demand.
Deer densities in most of the state including my area are extremely high and definitely need more does removed. Luckily we don't have wolves here but the coy wolves do take their fair share of deer.
It is disappointing what's happened in Wisconsin, when I was younger it was a highly rated deer hunting state especially for big bucks!
