zone A vs AO

AO (archery only)
(2) Zones in Which Archery Only Tags are Valid. An archery only tag is valid for hunt G-10, and during the archery season and general season in all zones except C-1 through C-4 and X-1 through X-12.
If you wanted the option of using both a bow and rifle, you'd need the A zone North or South. The "A" is just a area designator. Its not for archery.
I personally like the AO tag. Although its archery only, its gives you a much bigger area to hunt. For example, if you had an A zone tag, you are restricted to that area whereas if you had an AO tag, you could hunt A zone, B zone and D zone if you wanted to. But you can't pull out a rifle if you wanted that option.
Clear as mud?

i Knew the "A" of Zone A was a designator. Just wanted to make sure i didnt need an AO tag to bow hunt and the i could bowhunt with the zone A tag. i will only be hunting Vandenberg. So the zone A tag would do me just fine this year maybe next year ill have more time to huntand can get to more areas. Thanks

NOT GENERALLY. This really only applies for premium tags (i.e. X9A -A16, X12 -A20)
General zones have and archery and general season that can be hunted with ONE tag. For instance if you buy an A Zone tag you can hunt the archery season and the general season with that one tag. If you choose to buy an AO tag you can hunt the archery and general seasons with archery equipment only!
The same applies for D zone tags. They do not have any special archery tags. It is attached to the general tag.
A31, A32, etc. are totally different archery only tags that just so happen to share some of the same land that D11, D13, and A zone does.
So Hallx7 you are correct! Your D14 tag allows you to hunt the archery and general seasons.
WRONG! u can hunt the early archey season and the general season with a bow if u wanted to.Rob P. said:
