2009 Whitetail Deer Hunting Season Structure

I was discussing with a colleague the seasons that we have this year for deer hunting and although we could have easily just looked them up, we thought this would be a great post for the blog. Below you will find the whitetail deer hunting seasons in 2009.

• Archery season: September 12 to January 3 (Earn-a-buck)
• Youth Season: October 10-11 (exempt from earn-a-buck)
  (Archery hunters can continue to bow hunt but must follow normal gun deer season blaze orange guidelines)
• Early firearm season: October 15-18 (antlerless-only)
• Traditional 9-day firearm season: November 21-29 (Earn-a-buck)
• 10-day muzzleloader-only season: November 30 to December 9 (Earn-a-buck)
• Late firearm season: December 10-13 (antlerless-only)
• Holiday firearm season: December 24-January 3 (Earn-a-buck)
