A more practical opener

[outdooraddict]

thats like the "weekend workers" complaining they dont open general deer on "their weekend or days off"  its luck of the draw, season starts april 15th take a vaca day if u want to hunt the opener, looks like the weekend workers got lucky this year. I love how idaho always opens the 10th, no matter what day of the week. makes planning easy and sometimes keeps the weekend warriors out for a day or two.

So is the youth hunt the 13/14th or the weekend before?

I would say April 6-7 2019 for the Youth Hunt.

I totally agree! I like knowing that the opener in on the 15th year after year. I go every year because it’s important to me.

All you have to do is decide which is more important; hunting or having a job. <consider this pot stirring>

I'll probably be out on the 15th.

leave it as is - the season is long enough and includes enough weekend opportunity as it currently is.

I think it's good to rotate what day of the week the opener falls on, which happens with the fixed date. I'd actually like to see it for deer/elk seasons as well!  If it happens to work out where there are more or less weekend days in a season so be it.

Totally agree I have to work weekend most weeks .

Looks like the consensus is pretty much to keep it on the 15th every year. I'm fine with that of course, just have to plan strategically. Personally I think the biggest reason I would be in favor of it is because I usually only hunt here in WA for 2 weeks or so until I get my three birds and then I rush off on out of state hunts. Welp, time to take some weekdays off to hunt the opener.
