Before you pick a unit

One tag, two deer. The regular deer tag is good for mule deer or white-tailed deer, unless the season says white-tailed deer only.
Second tags may not be used in Units 10, 10A, 12, 16A, 17, 19 and 20 (brochure pages 11 and 12).
Nonresidents get general deer tags by draw. The application period for 2027 tags is December 5 to 15, 2026. More on the draw.
