Second Deer Question

[kbrowne14]

I was drawn this year for a Second Deer Hunt in Colfax.  My question is:  If I go to colfax and shoot a doe with my second deer tag first, can I then go to Manastash and hunt a legal buck.  There is a Monster deer up there that I have seen 3 times during elk season, I want him.  Is that legal to do?

Yes it is legal to use your primary tag after using the second tag first. They are independent of each other.

I knew I can harvest a doe first, But I can use the primary in a different GMU than the special hunt?

Your 1st General Tag is not affected, changed or revised in any way because you drew a second tag in another GMU.  You can go hunt your buck in Manastash.  As long as it is a general hunt GMU.

they are seperate from each other.  so yes,  you can shoot a doe in the gmu for the tag and then harvest a legal buck in another gmu.

don't forget you have to purchase a second deer license.

Yes is the answer.  Last year I drew a doe tag (whitetail) for the general season AND a late whitetail buck tag for the Nov. rut.  I could shoot two deer..... Now if I took a big mulie buck during my whitetail doe tag (general season or any buck for that matter) I would have had to forfeit my late buck whitetail tag.  Hope that helps.
