Deer Hunting A centerfire rifle 6mm (. 243 caliber) or larger may be used for deer hunting on private land if the landholding is 10 or more contiguous acres and the landowner has authorized rifle use on the DEEP consent form.

?Hunters can obtain multiple deer permits (archery, private land firearms, private land muzzleloader, state land shotgun, state land muzzleloader), allowing them to take upward of 10 deer in most zones, or even more in others,? LaBonte said.

A landowner must have a minimum of 10 acres to authorize the use of a rifle or revolver for deer hunting. There is no minimum acreage requirement for using a shotgun, muzzleloader, or archery equipment. Trappers - must obtain, and have in possession, the written permission of the landowner when trapping on their land.

Do I have to buy a Firearms Hunting License to hunt on land that I own? Landowners are exempt from buying a Firearms Hunting License if they permanently reside on the property and the property is 10 or more contiguous acres if they possess a Free Landowner Permit.

Immediately upon making your harvest, complete a Deer/Turkey Harvest Tag (2023 Tags). The Harvest Tag must be kept with your deer or turkey until it is processed for consumption. While transporting your harvest, you may keep the Harvest Tag in your pocket or wallet.

All hunting, trapping, and sport fishing licenses expire on December 31st of the year issued except permanent licenses issued to those 65 years of age or over and pheasant tags, which are valid through early January.
