TIP: If you shoot a young buck or bull with antlers less than 5 inches long, it
can be considered “antlerless.” But what do you do about evidence of sex?
▶ Leave the head and antlers naturally attached to a portion of the carcass to
prove it meets the requirement.
▶ Leave the testicles attached to a portion of the carcass, and then you can
detach the head or skull plate and carry it out with the antlers intact.

HOW TO READ HUNT CODES

HUNT CODES CONTAIN A LOT OF INFORMATION.
Learning how to read hunt codes can ensure that you apply for the right hunt in the limited
license drawing each year. Here’s a quick how-to:
1. THE FIRST LETTER of the code designates the species: D=deer; E=elk; A=pronghorn; M=moose;
B=bear
2. THE SECOND LETTER of the code designates the sex of the animal you want to hunt:
M=male; F=female; E=either sex
3. THE THIRD PART (THREE NUMBERS) designates the unit you want to hunt: 001=Unit 1;
201=Unit 201; etc. If more than one unit is valid, only the lowest unit number will appear.
4. THE FOURTH PART (A LETTER AND A NUMBER) indicates hunt dates. For example: O1=first
season; O2=second season; O3=third season; etc. P is for private-land-only hunts, followed by
the season number: P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5. E1=early season; L1=late season; K2, K3=youth-only
hunts. There are also Ws or Js for Ranching for Wildlife, and S for a split unit or season
choice license.
1 2 3 4 5
NOTE: Be aware that the zero ( 0 ) in the hunt units and the letter O in the season section look very similar!
For example, this hunt code is for:
5. THE LAST LETTER in the hunt code indicates what manner of take the license is valid for: A deer hunt, for either-sex, in unit 20,
A=archery; M=muzzleloader; R=rifle and associated methods during the first season for archery.
HOW TO READ HUNT CODE TABLES

HUNT TABLES SHOW THE LIMITED LICENSES AVAILABLE. SAMPLE DEER ARCHERY TABLE
These are available through the draw or as leftover licenses.
(Some hunt tables on pages 58–59 in the bear section include hunt codes
for over-the-counter licenses. These are not available through the draw.) 1
1. THE TITLE above each table indicates the method of take for the hunt codes within that 2 3 4 5 6 7
table. Start here to find the method of take you wish to use. Tables are color coded the
same throughout the brochure.
2. THE UNIT COLUMN is where you will look next to locate the game management unit you
wish to hunt. Please read the unit tables carefully. Some licenses are valid in one unit
only, while others are valid in multiple units. Here’s how to tell where you can hunt:
▶ If the hunt code for a certain unit is also valid in additional units, the VALID UNITS
r column will list all the units where you can hunt with that same license.
▶ If a unit has the same hunt details and hunt codes as another unit, the chart will
read “SEE UNIT __.” Look up the unit referred to for the correct hunt codes for your
hunt.
3. THE VALID UNIT column will also display information for each hunt and whether it is
private land or has other restrictions. If a hunt is labeled as private land, you should get
permission from a landowner in that unit before you apply for that license.
4. THE DATES column lists the applicable season dates when the license is valid. Please
look at the rows carefully, as each unit may have multiple hunt dates. OTHER HUNT TABLE SYMBOLS

PRESERVE. CONSERVE. ENJOY. Hunting is a great American pastime that helped shape many of our first public lands.
THE LEAVE NO TRACE PRINCIPLES tell how to minimize your impact while hunting:
1. PLAN AHEAD AND PREPARE: Get permission to hunt private land, respect road
LEAVE NO TRACE closures, leave gates as found.

2. TRAVEL AND CAMP ON DURABLE SURFACES: Good campsites are found, not made.
3. DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY: Pack it in, pack it out.
4. LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND: Sight-in firearms away from hunting areas, do not use signs
for target practice.
5. MINIMIZE CAMPFIRE IMPACTS: Use an established fire ring or fire pan, and don’t
put trash in the fire pit.
6. RESPECT WILDLIFE: Never feed wild animals, store your camp food and trash
securely.
7. BE CONSIDERATE TO OTHER VISITORS: Be aware of the direction you shoot and be
courteous to others you see.
The Center respects the tradition of hunting on public lands, expects hunters to abide by state game
and hunting laws, and encourages hunters to adhere to the Leave No Trace ethic.
