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

 Not sure about that but I can guarantee the guys that hunt the west side would be up in arms if their season mirrored the east side.

Whoa whoa whoa, ok everybody just calm down right now!

I think we need to get a sip of water and take a lap or two.

I wouldn't mind if they gave us the same 9 day early season, if they also gave us the same 15 day late season that they get in the NE.

That would be an unfair advantage because the deer would relax and then you would be able to hunt like us eastsiders from the road!

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

I'm sorry Bobcat I just had to chime in.  Have a good one.

You won't see me pushing for anything except the "status quo".

Besides, I thought you didn't want to discuss this anymore with a "close minded liberal"?

Columbia Whitetail???  I'm all for it.

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?

 This was what I was refering Bob.

You hoping for a little road hunting Bob

You 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.

 Easy now, I think he was joking Kujo.

Oh, I thought it was a fine question, and if the road hunting was good I'd be all for it, but I've tried it and it doesn't produce. Now for mule deer it's a different story. Blacktails are too smart to be shot from a road.

 I would argue that its only that blacktail are far less likely to be spotted from the road.
