Hey guys, I hunt in unit L and have decided it's time to hunt for some backstraps rather than horns this late in the season. I would like to kill a doe but am not sure if I'm legally allowed to do so. I only have the big game gun license and do not have a sportsman license. However, I saw on the internet about being able to kill does on the private property exemption act or something? Does this mean that if I'm hunting my grandfather's private property I qualify to shoot an anterless deer, or is it only him allowed to do so? Any knowledge on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

Unless you are under the age of 16, you do not qualify for the landowner license exemption on your grandfather's property. You will need a type 94 permit to shoot antlerless deer during the Special Season antlerless hunts.

In addition, if, as you stated, all you have is a big game gun license, you are not legal to hunt deer, period. You also must have the type 001 Hunt/Fish combo license.
