Early archery dates for elk
« on: March 01, 2013, 06:21:28 PM »
It is that time of year again to put in for some time off for elk season. As far as I can remember, the opener for elk is always the tuesday after labor day. That would make it the 3rd of September 2013. I don't believe the dates have been published from WDFW but how certain can I be that they'll keep this schedule?

Looks like the second week should be a little better than the first!

I am taking the second week off and crossing my fingers that half the state doesn't get shut down to fire danger like last year.

I will take five days and two weekends which, given our short crappy archery season, is almost the whole thing.

 :yeah:.. but I'll be watching the weather and if 1st week is like 2010 (60's and rain) I'll be changing plans.

Thanks for the update.  I've been wondering how certain the dates are.

Last year I tried to take the month of September off it was not going to happen.  BUT this year it is looking great.
