Four Easy Steps to Find Your Deer Season Regs by Zone

Start with the map on this page, then go to the Deer Management Zone (DMZ) Descriptions, to confirm your exact zone boundary. Follow the zone boundary description with a county map to determine your exact location. Be sure to check for new boundary changes each year!
Use the Regulation Sets Reference Chart below to learn in which regulation set your DMZ is located.
Find your actual regulation set (click on the Regulation Set # in the chart below), then confirm that your DMZ is listed at the top of that regulation set.
Locate your desired hunting season (e.g., fall bow, permit muzzleloader) for dates, bag limits and special information for your DMZ in the color-coded Deer Regulation Sets chart.
