Game Law Question
This may be a dumb question, but I need to ask with the new area I am hunting's location.
When doe comes in Saturday, do I need to get a doe or buck out of the woods prior to shooting another? If I read the field possession limit section, it only states lawfully tagged. For some reason, I was thinking you had to have it out of the woods.
I am planning on hunting 2-3 miles back away from vehicle and will use a bicycle to get the deer out. My choice given the opportunity would be to shoot a deer, field dress, tag it, weather and time permitting continue to hunt until dark.
I have not had to worry about this in the past with already filled tags this time of year and hunting proximity closer to home. I do not want any surprises when I get to my vehicle!
Thanks

The way I understand it is field dress and tag and you can harvest another. Hope this helps.

" and will use a bicycle to get the deer out."
D@m you must have a big basket on that bike. How do you see over the handlebars?

Have to admit, I'm curious how you plan on getting a deer out with a bicycle...
Explain further please...

A harvested deer has to be tagged before shooting another deer.... There is no "rule" about when it has to be field dressed....

Bring a deer out with a bike isn’t so hard if you have your bike and cart set up right.

Innovative. What is the "offical" answer on his harvest question? Inquiring minds want to know.

From p.32 of the digest:
Big game must be tagged immediately after harvest and
before carcass is moved. Tag must be attached to the ear of a
deer or bear, or the body of an elk and remain attached until the
animal is processed for consumption or prepared for mounting.
When multiple harvests of deer per day are authorized, only one
deer at a time may be taken. Before attempting to take an addi-
tional deer, the first deer shall be lawfully tagged
Says nothing about field dressing or needing to transport. As long as the completed tag is on the first one, kill the next one.

From reading that, it would be unlawful for a hunter to see a group of deer, say containing a legal buck and legal antlerless deer, where applicable, shoot one of the legal deer and if the others hung around long enough, shoot the other deer that they have a tag for. They would need to tag the first harvested (killed, whatever) deer first. Is that correct?

That's the way I understand it DarDys. Shoot one and get your tag on it. If the other deer stick around to mourn their harvested (killed, whatever) deer friend while you fill out your tag and attach it to the harvested (killed, whatever) deer, choot 'em Lizbeth, choot 'em.

I'd probably end up having to push the bike with the cart behind it  ... Looks a little dangerous with wet leaves and any hill you might have to deal with. Innovative but, I'd probably get a chuckle out of it if I saw someone doing it tho...  Wonder if KMP hunts...

Hopefully I will have pics to share this weekend! One deer is easy, two may be interesting. I actually have a trailer setup for my bike and as long as weight is distributed properly it pulls very easy with a deer, tree stand, and all gear. I am not actually riding in the woods either, paved trail which makes it all the easier. The setup makes it nice to hunt locations that many do not attempt to because of access and getting deer out.
Thanks for the information, I will be all good as long as the deer cooperate!

Yep, you have to tag the first deer before you can shoot the second and so on. R.S. Bodenhorn

I have brought many deer out of remote areas with gated roads over the years. Some of them have been over three miles back in when harvested and I can assure you the bike is a lot easier than dragging them over bare ground. The cart is easy to pull without a deer. With a deer in tow on some moderate up hill sections I can get off and push the bike with the cart still attached. If the hill is too steep for that I unhook the cart from the bike, put the bike on the cart with the deer and pull everything until I get to where I can ride again. On steep down hills you need to unhook and bring everything down the hill by hand or the weight of the deer is likely to push you out of control. On the level, moderate up or down hill though the bike works really good on hard packed roads. Mud or sand is not so easy and usually requires pushing or even unhooking and pulling the cart. I also use the bike and cart to get stands deep into and out of some of the more remote areas. R.S. Bodenhorn
