Purchasing two mule deer tags

[Jim]

I picked up an undersubscribed antlered mule deer tag and noticed that after purchasing it I could also purchase a general mule deer tag on Alberta relm. I thought you could only possess one antlered mule deer tag be it a general or a draw. Is this a mistake on Alberta relm or is it legal to have a antlered mule deer draw tag as well as a general mule deer tag?

Ya. Somethings weird. If you have a draw tag you shouldn’t be able to have a general tag. Unless if something is different because it’s undersubscribed. But I’ve never heard of that

As soon as you purchased the antlered mule deer special license, the system should have removed mule deer from your purchase options.

Years ago a guy I know was issued two antlered mule deer special licenses...different tag numbers. He shot two antlered deer, he was charged for doing so. Contact F&W to save yourself grief.

Well at the end of the day it's you're responsibility to know you're regulations and allowable tags. Not a computers.

If you purchased your special undersubscribed for a antlered then you cannot get a general license as well.

The only way is that if you had a special antlerless tag and a general tag.

Last year I drew my antlerless and antlered special licenses for mulies.

Good on you for asking for clarification rather than taking advantage of a system error

I wonder what would have happened if the OP would actually have attempted to purchase the second license? Although he could still see it as available, the system may not have processed the request.

I'll have to look this up but I think that your special undersubscribed tag would obviously be for the buck in that particular WMU and the general would apply normally to either a buck or doe during an archery season in a general WMU zone, however since you've purchased the undersubscribed now the general is only good for the doe in a WMU that allows for archery hunting with a general tag on either buck or doe. I'm going to check this out.

Knock on the door from F&W officer after the season when things slow down is my guess.
