Deer license/tagging question

[Pred]

Here is an excerpt from the 2007 Hunting regs regarding Deer license and tagging requirements:

STATEWIDE BAG LIMITS FOR DEER
• An individual hunter may only tag one legal buck per year, without
exception.
• In lottery deer areas, only one deer can be tagged per year, without
exception.
• In managed and intensive deer areas, hunters may tag deer on both
their firearms (including muzzleloader) and archery deer licenses.
• The cumulative bag limit for an individual hunter in the archery, regular
firearms, and muzzleloader season is five deer. Exceptions to the
five deer limit are:
- the early antlerless season where two additional deer may be taken.
- deer area 601 (metro deer management zone) and the bovine TB
special area, (deer area 101) which have no limit.
- landowners can take one additional antlerless deer if they have a
free landowner license.
Lottery deer areas: The bag limit is one deer total per year, regardless
of license type. Bonus permits are not valid in lottery deer areas.

I archery hunt in a lottery area. I firearms hunt in a managed area. If I purchase a regular archery license, and a regular firearms license, can I legally tag a doe in the lottery area by archery and still tag a buck in the managed area by firearm? Or do they mean BOTH archery and firearms deer must be tagged in a managed/intensive area to do that (third point above)?

I'd send an email to the DNR.

I agree on the email, they have always answered my questions and I've had quite a few because of the way they sometimes write the regulations.

Here is the response by the DNR:

No, you're right in the first instance. You can take a doe by archery in
a lottery area and a buck by firearms in a managed area. You're limited
to one deer in a lottery area. You can take up to 2 deer in the managed
area.
