2015 Muzzleload seasons

[TheHunt]

Does anyone know when the 2015 muzzleloader elk season will be? 

I am trying to plan this coming year out... 

[D-Rock425]

No.  everyone is still waiting think there's a meeting end of this month or next.

Two possibilities for the early season: Oct 3-9 or Oct 10-16.

Earlier the better to get elk talking.

One of the guys at the WDFW booth at the sportsman show said everything is moving back a week. That would put the Early Elk opener on the 10th 

This would make

Archery Elk better
Muzzle Elk worse
Rifle Deer better
Rifle Elk better

Too bad I hunt Elk with a Muzzy, just my luck.

Everything is not being moved back a week. Modern firearm deer just happens to fall on the 17th this year. That's not a change.

If muzzleloader elk season starts on the 10th that would be a change from previous seasons, since it has been on the first Saturday of October.

Where I muzzy hunt for elk they are usually talking just fine around the 10Th of Oct. But it would be nice to start on the 3rd.

You could change weapons     plenty of time to get proficient with daily shooting

I dont see the start date for early ML moving up but who knows. I do know that more GMUs are to be open to early ML and hopefully it will include expanded optys for bulls and antlerless not just spikes.

[Dry creek]

it will open 3-9 Margaret will be a general hunt

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

I know where my kid will be!

Looks like 16 new units for early season. It's about time.

[JimmyHoffa]

[Damnimissed]
