Archery Quality Elk Hunts

Allowing the Quality permit archery hunters to hunt a week past general season would help to make the branch bull harvest more equitable.

That's exactly what I had in mind. That would be considered "quality" time.

Only problem with that is then they'd have to do something similar wih the muzzleloader quality elk hunts. I guess they'd have to move the opening date ahead by a week, so instead of being October 4th this year, it would be September 27th.

I know this would be great especially this year if I draw on the east side.  Things just start ramping up in my area around the 14th.  Hunting cows and spikes isn't bad early but if you had a big bull tag it would be nice to be hunting the 14th -21st.

Of course all would be solved if they just changed back to a fixed season of the 8th-21st, at least where I hunt it would help.

If that is the case then the ML season should follow the archer season by moving by however many days the archery season does. The archery season moves from Sept 2nd to the 8th for starting dates, so the ML season should follow that model. That way the week after archer or before ML will have the same affect.

$6 times ? applicants = $Thousands.
In all fairness to US, it should cost $7.10 not $13.70
