At least we know it is going to be later this year.  Last year was tough ending on the 14th.  I am drooling at the thought of it being the 12th-24th.  Seems too good to be true, but regardless the dates should be much better this year for my area.  I'd take the 7th-19th or 8th-20th any year and every year!

I would be pissed if opening day was on Labor day the 7th ..... hope it gets moved to always start on the 8th. I like the weekday opener....

I agree elkoholic.  I didn't realize that Labor Day is the 7th this year.  So that being said... I'd take September 8th-20th as a set date for every year.  This last year I had a helluva time getting much going on until the last day or two when it ended on the 14th.  Then checked my trail cameras and the action picked up like crazy the following week or two after the season ended.

Why should game wardens have inside information on the seasons?  Starting on Labor Day would be another slap in the face.  I doubt that happens.

Agreed. I wouldn't rely on anything game wardens say. They've got no idea at this point. I'm sticking with Todd's info.

Hey my game warden doesn't lie! He's a Steelers fan.  :chuckle:  :chuckle:  I did make a mistake in my post above though. The game warden I spoke to said it was opening the day after Labor Day.  :dunno: He also said that mineral salt seems to help with hoof rot, so he doesn't expect salt to be banned for baiting (if anything is).

Current proposals (as I understand them) is to keep it the same (day after labor day) or set it to begin on the 8th-20 no matter what days that falls on, move it to the first Saturday after Labor Day, or switch with ML (First week of Oct.)
As long as I get to hunt for no less than 13 days during early archery, I really dont care when it is, but would really like 12-24th

It should be more days (14 min) but that is an argument for another day.  I would give up the entire
Archery elk late season for an early season Sep 1st to Sept 25th.

It's not about needing more days to kill a bull it's about spreading out the hunters and the pressure over a longer period of time. Once you get the ego stuff out of the way you can objectively look at what makes for an all around better hunting season

maybe i was being a little bit of a wise guy but in all reality no way would i want to give up a entire late season for a few more early season days.

You could spread hunters out by opening up more units, too.
