With the 2008 nine-day, whitetail deer season
under way, there are a few facts that may help
make the hunt easier and more enjoyable.
Since 2004, anyone who wants to get in on a
last-minute hunt can purchase a license at any
time during the nine-day season at license ven-
dors or any state Department of Natural
Resources service center.
Gun deer licenses are $24 for residents, $160
for nonresidents. In many units, a free antler-

license.
As you likely know, there are many zones with
the earn-a-buck regulation, which requires
hunters to first harvest an antlerless deer to
