2015 gen mule deer season

[sneakyjake]

Are the dates of October 17-27 pretty solid?

Nope

99.9999% chance the season will be Oct 17-27, according to my calculations.

I thought he meant like solid days for hunting mule deer, not solid as in "set-in-stone".

They're a heck of a lot better than the dates for 2014 were...

Think it is time to buy my tags again. Always a good day.
Is there a lottery for Doe tags? Last year got so tired of seeing Doe's...

There are antlerless permits you can apply for and draw.
Not sure I'd call it a lottery....close. They vary between GMU's.

Yeah they are, I was being sarcastic when I said, "Nope"

If it does get adopted I'm wondering if those last 4 days would run concurrent with modern elk season or if they'd push elk back a week??

Elk is scheduled for Oct 31 to Nov 8.

Ok gotcha thanks!

If those openers stick there will be alot of pressure in the hills with no break! I like the fact that they are looking to move the deer opener back a touch and extend it a little but would be nice if they moved the elk back accordingly!!

[bobcat]

They didn't move the modern deer opener back. It just happens to fall on October 17 this year. It fell on October 17 in 2009 as well.

And 2009 was a good year.   Fog, cold weather, a little snow...what more could you ask for?
