Party hunting is only allowed for gun season. You have to buy a hunting license. The group or “party” can kill all the deer the group has tags for but you must be with a group or a person. You can’t legally go kill a buck and then get someone to tag it that wasn’t there. If you’re in say 5 person party and there is 4 people with buck tags then theoretically one person could kill all 4 bucks as long as the other people are willing to let that one person use their tag.
If you apply for a buck tag with a buddy or a few people you will only draw OFF OF THE LOWEST AMOUNT OF POINTS someone in the group has. If two people have 2 points and one person has 0 points the group will draw off of ZERO points.
