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

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   :dunno:  plenty of time to get proficient with daily shooting  :twocents:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

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.
