Are the dates of October 17-27 pretty solid?

Nope

bobcat · « **Reply #2 on:** February 10, 2015, 01:20:03 PM »

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??

bobcat · « **Reply #9 on:** February 10, 2015, 04:23:19 PM »

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 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 10, 2015, 06:13:27 PM »

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?

Thanks, I bid my vacation wrong then. Lots of changes this year.

Typo there, should be 17-27. And yes, that's modern season for mule deer.

I searched the WDFW site, and there are no 2015 dates published as of yet. Where are these dates coming from ?

So modern firearm general deer will start on Oct 17th and not 10th? Where are we getting this info? I wish they would set several seasons openning dates in advance! This guessing sure screws up trying to plan ahead for being off work.

These dates are currently listed as proposals under the rule making section on the wdfw website. Seasons are set in advance on a 3 year cycle. The proposed dates for the next 3 years are part of the package to be approved by the commission.

Hopefully everyone booked their vacation week starting on the 10th... Sure will be a lot less folks in the woods.

Could not find the proposed dates for modern firearm General deer. Who can provide the link? Thanks

bobcat · « **Reply #25 on:** February 15, 2015, 09:29:53 AM »

Modern deer would not start on the 10th unless they moved it up a week for some reason. October 11th is the earliest it would open, and I believe the 17th is the latest. We knew the 17th would be the opener even before the proposals came out.

Here is a link to the proposal:

Thanks bobcat for the link. All others: See page 28/73 if you want to check the dates. Thanks to this site, my leave dates will be changed on Monday.
