are there tags for all deer-animals?
are all tags finite?
ahh, finally a topic we can all agree on or at the very least prove. it all depends on state-by-state basis. in my state, it depends on the animal and the hunt. for instance you can buy a regular tag which is good for whitetailed deer and mule deer, however the seasons do not last very long and the regions within the state you are allowed to use those tags are limited. the whitetail tag is generally available to more regions for a longer season, do the the fact that whitetail are more prolific than mule deer. all Elk, Moose, and Mule deer specific tags are part of controlled hunts, which are issued through a lottery type basis, you apply for the specific region and period(usually a short, no more than 2 week long season) you intend to hunt and based on the number of tags that are available, they will issue to individuals at random(like a lottery) and those people are restricted to a single area and very precise time slot that they can hunt.
I have found a late season cow only elk hunt that few people apply for so my odds of being drawn for that tag are pretty high so I generally apply for it, even though I never get a trophy out of the deal since I hunt for meat first and foremost. I'd rather get drawn and eat than not get drawn and have to wait for next year so I never put in for the moose, bull elk, and mule deer tags since odds of being drawn are much lower and I don't want to be sidelined over a want for a pair of antlers.
we get tags for one area and most of the hunting is communal in teams
in my state, party hunting is illegal. you can hunt in groups, but you are not allowed to focus fire on a single animal nor are you allowed to shoot an animal for another individual.
reddeer is like 10 tags for the whole area and when they are out they are out
only small game + roedeer and boar are tag and baglimitless
sadly we have a limit of one per person on all deer species, one caveat being that some regions allow for a controlled hunt(lottery) for an extra tag which is only good for anterlerless of a specific species. there are no boar in my state thankfully, but most states that have them treat them as vermin and have no tag or bag limits. the only animal I am aware of that has no limit and no tag requirement is the coyote. Wolves are getting there with the debacle of bringing down Canadian Gray Wolves which are destroying native wildlife, we are up to 10 tags per individual and seasons run from august to march in most areas.
it's a shame, I would love to add a sweden elk hunt to my bucket list.
