Rhode Island · Deer · 2026-27

This is the rut modelled for Rhode Island as a whole. A pin moves the peak to your own latitude — up to three days across a state.

Modelled from Rhode Island breeding dates at the middle of the state, 41.56°N. It says nothing about whether a season is open or your tags cover it.

Rhode Island deer seasons, 2026-27

Rhode Island’s 2026-27 deer seasons run September 12, 2026 to February 12, 2027, and what is open on a given day depends on the deer management zone your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the deer management zone off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, Division of Fish and Wildlife digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
