Doesn't matter how far back you need to go Bob, the FACT is that it has not ALWAYS been the same. You always come on here and speak as an expert, as someone that knows for a fact what you are saying is correct. There are a lot of people on here that don't know what the truth is and for you to state is as fact is irresponsible and misleading. Posting opinions are everyone's privilege on this site, but it should be posted as opinion, and not gospel if you really don't know what the truth is.

Problem is it will be the 12th the following year and the 11th the year after that. If the herds are in such poor condition, and they're not, then why not just shut down hunting for the next three years and really let them rebuild? When was the last time the modern seasons opened on the 13th, 12th and 11th for the three year set?

It will be the 13th, and I sure would not be happy if they decided to move opening day back a week to the 20th. I would much rather have 19 days to hunt deer than only 12 days.

They will need MF to close by that week to allow for the EMF draw elk tags to have week before general elk.
We've been over this at nauseam Bob, I've no desire to discuss things with a closed minded liberal again. If you really have to ask me why I want the starting date the 20th rather than the 13th then you really don't understand hunting in this state and its a waist of time trying to explain it. For the rest of you, in my opinion adding 5 days to the front of the season does nothing for our hunt except give the perception that WDFW are listening and trying to help.

It always goes to the 31st.

If the start date needs to be the same for both sides then blacktail should close the same day as mule deer, we don't want guys that are done hunting mule deer to drive to the wetside and increase pressure on the blacktail. Its always easy to sit back and watch the east side guys get their season pushed back and reduced while you sit on the other side being able to hunt through the end of the month. My guess is the west side guys would be pretty upset if their seasons were set to mirror the east side.
Ok so everyone thinks its going to be the 13th for Mule deer on the Eastside?
