(2) Quota applicability. The license quota issued for each zone will be the quota for all bow, regular gun and muzzleloader season licenses combined. No more than 6,000 any-deer licenses and 6,000 mandatory antlerless-deer-only licenses will be issued for all methods of take combined, for the entire state. Of the 6,000 any-deer and 6,000 mandatory antlerless-deer-only licenses, no more than 35 percent in any zone can be bow licenses. A maximum of 4,500 optional antlerless-deer-only licenses will be issued on a county-by-county basis. The licenses will be divided between the counties in the same proportion as resident antlerless-deer-only licenses. Hunters must designate a zone or county and season when purchasing the license and hunt only in that zone or county and season.
