Big Game Hunting > Muzzleloader Hunting
Next three year season setting process, we need a change.
Mallardmasher:
This is the time to contact all the commissioners and WDFW, and request a change for the next three years of ML seasons.
My request was as follows:
Dear (name of recipients)
I would like to ask the WDFW and Commission, to consider moving the start of early Muzzle Loading Elk season statewide. To start the Saturday closest to Oct 1st, and run 9 consecutive days. This would accomplish a few things and avoid conflicts as listed below.
1. It would give ML elk hunters two weekends to enjoy their passion, like both other user groups.
2. It would put 5 weekdays between the end of ML elk season and the start of general deer season.
- Currently ML elk season has to end on a Friday, to accommodate the start of general Deer season the following Saturday. Resulting in just one weekend and only 7 days of elk hunting for early ML elk season.
3. Days afield could be shifted from late season to early season, so our total number of days afield remain in the states framework. This would only be a two day shift.
Thank you for your time and consideration in the upcoming season setting process.
Sincerely,
(Name here)
We can make a difference, if we make some noise, or we can settle for status quo. Archers are very vocal and represented at the meetings, and get seasons reflecting their desires. Let's make things happen. You can copy and paste my letter or make your own, but please, we need to do something,
Also copy and paste this on all ML forums you visit, I am only a member here.
Thanks,
Matt

It would be great to see the smokepole season get extended.
Mallardmasher:
Yes it would, and it makes since, feel free to send to the ones that set the seasons. Or we will get what we have.

I thought the seasons were set based on hunter effectiveness as well as other factors? you muzzy hunters are just too good! 8)

A large part of the season setting process is based on success parity between the different user groups. There may be some minor changes to seasons, this was discussed at the last GMAC meeting earlier this month. more will be known when the new rules show up later this year.
