Early archery elk dates?

[steeliedrew]

Does early archery elk always start on September 3rd? I've heard recently from a couple folks that this year it starts a little later due to leap year or something. Any truth to that? It sure would be nice for it to start even a week later for hopefully colder weather.

I thought it was gonna start on the 1st or 2nd next year.

It starts the day after Labor Day, so in 2014 it will be Tuesday, September 2nd.

The day after Labor Day... 2014 that day is September 1 st so the season starts the second

The 1st is Labor Day. The 2014 season dates are .Sept 2nd thru the 14th

I wish it opened earlier. The last week of August would be best for me.

[D-Rock425]

I wish it would open on the 14th

August 23rd and stay open for 3 weeks.   

That's my vote.

It would just be nice if it wasn't 90 + degrees and sunny. some early fall cold snaps during the season would be sweet.

open around the 14th and stay consistent would be great year to year!

Ok Bobcat I'll bite....why do you want it to open in Aug 23rd?

In the area I hunted this year all the bulls leave the first week of September. They head off to where the cows are. The hunting would have been great the last week of August, there were at least four legal bulls in the area, and a couple others that came through occasionally. A week into September they were all gone.

So I certainly don't want the season to start any later. At least next year it's one day earlier, I'm happy about that!
