Rifle Season 2013

[Gamehunter034]

Just for clarification are the dates the same every year for the early rifle season in october for modern rifle. I thought so but can't remember. Thank you!

No

Not the same date because it's always a Saturday. The dates for 2013 and 2014 have already been set.

I was looking for the proposed dates but I can not find them.

It is a Saturday opener Was the 13Th last year so it will either be Oct 12Th or the 19Th the later seems to late I do not remember how they pick the Sat.

Modern deer is oct 12th, elk is nov 5th

I think it's the first Saturday after the 10th of October.

So based off rough calculations of last years dates it would appear it will be 12th-20th 2013 if we base it off the first sat after the 10th. When do regs come out is it june or july... wish I remembered right now, I am trying to schedule my days off for rifle deer, gotta get them in sooner than later! Thanks guys!!

There's no need to guess, the season dates have already been determined. Go here and start reading on page 73:

The regs will be out in the next 2 weeks I bet, I just saw the deadline for permit app's will be 5/22 so it definitely won't  be June or July before the regs come out.

Yep, the Commissioner's meeting to adopt the 2013 proposals is tomorrow. Once that is done, the pamphlets will be printed. Seasons and Regulations should be online sometime next week.

Seasons are set every three years. Unless there is a emergency closure you can be pretty sure they don't change until the next season setting process three years later.

This is the second year of this three year plan. Next year will be one day earlier and then they will meet to discuss the next three year plan.
