Well we better have to choose EMF or WMF for deer then. That would solve this.

I'll help you push for a 15 day West side late whitetail hunt Bob, I'll bet WDFW wouldn't have an issue.

The point is why change it? They've already said they will not be making any major changes to the seasons for this next 3 year package due to budget constraints. And even if they were, why would you want a later season on the eastside? All that's going to do is put more hunters out there when the deer are more vulnerable and the harvest will be higher, on a deer herd that is already well below population objectives.Really? You want to increase the mule deer harvest when the goal should be to reduce harvest?
You hoping for a little road hunting Bob
QuoteYou hoping for a little road hunting Bob Why do you say that? Is that the only way you guys hunt in the NE during the late season? On a road is the last place I would be, if I were hunting blacktails. You might find me in ground blind or a tree stand.
