    I've always been under the impression that you can only kill one buck in Wisconsin - Bow/Gun... but I heard regulations have changed so you can buy a gun license and kill a second buck during gun season with your bow?

    Anyone else confirm this? I thought that Wisconsin was a one buck state (excluding CWD zones)...

    2 buck tags. One for archery season and one for gun season. And I am almost positive that you can use your bow during gun season.

    I am 100% positive that you can hunt with your bow during gun season, same blaze orange requirements as a gun hunter.

    Yup my buddy just filled his gun tag with a bow. Your firearm tag is not weapon specific anymore.

    I'll second what everyone else said. Hunter orange and the tag is any weapon
