to Start Your Hunt
Generally, a hunter can use the same license to hunt either deer species. Your specific license limitation shown in the regulations will tell you what deer is legal. For example, if the regulation specifies "antlered deer," that means you can harvest only deer with visible antlers, either mule deer or white-tailed deer. Always consult the regulations for your hunt area prior to hunting.
