Hi everyone,

so I am looking for a little bit of clarification.... If i purchase an archery tag can I also hunt deer/elk with archery equipment during muzzle loader and firearms seasons as well as archery without multi season tag? any info would be greatly appreciated.

No unless you have a multi-season tag.

Archery tag is for archery season. Muzzleloader tag is for muzzleloader season. Modern firearm tag for modern firearm season.

Awesome thanks guys

20 years ago you could have, oh the good old days.

Hmm, i thought you could. I also thought you could hunt with muzzy during general.

You can only hunt in the designated season unless you have the multi-season tag.
Throw a twist into this conversation.
If you draw a multi-season tag, can you hunt with archery during modern or ML?

If you had a muzzy tag you can use muzzleloader or archery equipment during muzzleloader season. Modern firearm you can use any weapon during modern firearm season, but hunter orange is required. Archery tag archery equipment only. Regulation state this pretty clear.

  Exactly what I was gonna say.

The Tag you purchase dictates the season you must hunt, whether you have to wear Hunter Orange, and the most powerful weapon you can use.  You can always use a less powerful weapon, no matter which tag you purchase, as long as you're following all of the other rules of that tag's season.  A modern Firearm Tag allows you to hunt with a rifle, adequate handgun, muzzle loader or bow, DURING modern firearm season.  A muzzle loader Tag allows you to hunt with a muzzle loader or bow, DURING muzzle loader season.  An Archery Tag allows you to hunt with a bow, DURING archery season.

You still have to follow the equipment rules. No scope on a muzzle loader, 209 primers or electronics on archery.

I'm pretty sure you can use a scoped, ignition not open to the elements, 209 primer, muzzleloader during modern firearm season. Not sure about the electronics on a bow.

You can if you have a modern tag. You can also hunt with a bow during modern if you have a modern tag. During muzzy, you can hunt with a bow or a ML with a muzzy tag. During archery, you can hunt only with archery equipment.

And I am not sure about the bow either.  My guess would be yes but definitely worth a call before doing it.  Actually better to email and get a written response as proof.

I gotcha. Thanks for the clerification.
