Mule deer season

[blackdog]

Would you support mule deer modern rifle season opening a week later than usual?

[SWHUNTER]

No. Why?

[WAcoueshunter]

No.  Can't see a scenario where that's a good idea. 

[mburrows]

Negative

[crabcreekhunter]

Nope.  No way.  Bad idea.

[Bigshooter]

Yes.  It use to run into mid November or maybe later up until the mid 90's and then they shortened it because of a couple bad winter kills.  I don't think running it to the end of October is going to hurt anything.

Would you support mule deer modern rifle season opening a week later than usual?

Does that mean opening a week later and closing a week later for the same length season, or opening a week later and closing the same time for a shorter season?

[jdb]

I would support them closing mule deer hunting in all 300 series gmu's

[blackdog]

Same length season, just a week later.

[bobcat]

I would support them closing mule deer hunting in all 300 series gmu's

I would support them closing mule deer hunting in all 300 series gmu's

 

I assume you would exclude 381, 379 and 373 from this closure?

[WAcoueshunter]

Yes.  It use to run into mid November or maybe later up until the mid 90's and then they shortened it because of a couple bad winter kills.  I don't think running it to the end of October is going to hurt anything.

Yeah, I disagree.  End of October flirts with the migration and rut.  2015 was an early migration/rut and it was a slaughter with a season that ended on 10/26, just once.  Would be just that much worse with a 10/31 end date every year.  There's a reason the Quality tags start on 11/1.  Maybe wouldn't make a big difference in those units that don't have a migration.

[WARHORSE]

Not a chance!!! The herd is still hurting from the last later season!

[The scout]

I defanitely think something needs to change, but I wouldn't think it would be fair if only we would change our seasons. The natives would have to change as well, wich imop will never happen. It would end up exactly like the salmon runs in the local rivers, sportsman get there season's cut back year after year yet salmon numbers keep declining. Weird

[csaaphill]

Yes.  It use to run into mid November or maybe later up until the mid 90's and then they shortened it because of a couple bad winter kills.  I don't think running it to the end of October is going to hurt anything.

but depending though. I do kind of remember deer season being longer into almost NOV then elk starting in Nov instead of late Oct. so yeah maybe.
I think it started about where it does now around the 9th or so then running into about the 26th or so. Elk would start about the 7th and go into the end of close to end of NOV so again yeah maybe.
