Two antlered deer for the season, statewide, across all zones and methods combined — and no more than one of them from Zone 3. Antlerless deer are limited by zone rather than statewide: three in Zone 1, two in Zone 2, two in Zone 3, unlimited in Zone 4. Those limits are cumulative, so a hunter may take each zone's allowance in the same hunting year. Deer permits are antler, weapon and zone specific. Guide, printed pp. 4 and 8.

You

What you pay, and in several states what you are even offered.

Residency

Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, Division of Fish and Wildlife prices residents and non-residents differently, and sells some tags to only one of them.

Licences

Without one of these there is no legal way to hunt deer here.

Tags for a unit

Drop a pin first — these are sold per deer management zone, and the app will not guess which one you meant.

Prices are what the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, Division of Fish and Wildlife printed for 2026-27, and are here to help you recognise a tag rather than to sell you one.

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.
