Question regarding the Mule deer bag limit. If you hold an LEH for a doe. Are you still allowed to take your one buck limit as well as the doe?

Depends on region you are hunting. In region 3 you can have 1 mule deer, if you have LEH for doe and you find one, you can't get buck in that region, but you can get buck in different region. Region 2 still has limit of 2 bucks.
My 15 year old daughter took a region 3 buck in the youth season and also has a LEH for region 8. The Regs don’t make any mention of this scenario.
You can take 1 mule deer buck in the province (exempt reg 2) and if you drew a doe tag , you can fill that too.

1) The Provincial bag limit for deer is 3 (not including Haida Gwaii/QCI). Hunters may not harvest more than 3 deer in one licence year,but only 1 may be a mule (black-tailed) deer buck from Regions 3,4, 5, 6, 7A, 7B and 8 combined.
Hunters may harvest 3 white-taileddeer (if they purchase 3 white-taileddeer licenses), or 3 mule (black-tailed) deer (if they purchase 3mule (black-tailed) deer licenses), ora combination of white-tailed andmule (black-tailed) deer (1+2 or2+1) providing they do not exceedthe provincial limit of 3 and notmore than 1 mule (black-tailed)deer buck from Regions 3, 4, 5,6 ,7A, 7B and 8 combined. Thereason hunters may purchase morethan 3 deer licenses in total is toprovide hunters with the flexibility
The following table outlines the provincial and regional bag limits for deer.Deer bag limits on Haida Gwaii are not covered in this article, as they ara a unique case. Hunters cannot harvest deer in excess of the sex, species, regional, or provincial bag limit. * Some exceptions apply **Table does not include deer bag limit for Haida Gwaii/QCI
there was a table/chart that outlines regional and provincial bag limits but I couldn't get it to open in this post. Page 17 in the regs

Should be clarified in the reading if it needs some more, cuz then If you can draw an LEH doe tag muley and still hunt thee BC regulations for a buck muley then more woody apply for the draw, more income and better confidence Also a Blacktail deer and a mule deer are different and shood b pointed out to people, No mule deer on thee Islands only Blacktail.
-- > I know when we first had thee LEH system used here in BC regs we cood go for a doe leh and still take a buck that was in regular season. NOW!?
--- doe is called antlerless. and lots of added a's b's and to reg region mu areas in the reg mags.
Jel -- I woody clear it up in reading for next Leh draw, good point if it is correct? ----a few words - like a small read on it .. an Oh Fish L One Hahaha

The answer is in the regs, sometimes it can be a little confusing or hard to find.
If you look at the chart/table on page 17 in the regs it shows that you can harvest 1 mule deer buck in region 3 and 1 mule deer buck or doe in region 8. since your daughter already shot a buck in region 3 your only allowed to harvest a doe in regions 5, 6, 7A, 7B and 8.....
