Title: Using Second Deer Permit for First Deer
Post by: luvmystang67 on August 25, 2014, 07:03:49 AM: You apply, get drawn, have a second deer permit in your hand for a given area with a given weapon type. Since they are all antlerless, is there any reason you couldn't put your second deer tag on the first deer your get if it were a doe you saw first?

I don't really see anything that specifies that you need to take the deer in a specific sequence. It seems the "second deer" terminology refers mostly to the idea that you can shoot 2, not the order that they need to be in.

Thoughts, references?

Thanks,
Stang
