Is that one of the options? Where did you hear that?

Post by: Nice Racks on November 03, 2014, 04:20:59 PM: What options are they considering? It would be stupid to open the early elk season before Labor Day.

Post by: Fullabull on November 03, 2014, 09:23:55 PM: I think a lot of folks were voting for the "start the first Saturday after labor day" option.this will allow archers to hunt as late as September 25th or 26th in some years.that would be the best season option I have seen since I have hunted here.

Post by: bobcat on November 03, 2014, 10:05:33 PM: I'll be buying an archery elk tag for sure if they go with the Saturday after Labor Day opener.

Post by: bigbeamhunter on November 03, 2014, 10:21:06 PM: I've never had any problem getting a bull with the early season but I do like hearing more bugling

Post by: D-Rock425 on November 07, 2014, 08:30:53 AM: I really hope archery hunters get the first Saturday after labor day.
Title: Re: 2015 seasons
Post by: D-Rock425 on November 07, 2014, 08:32:16 AM: With that option the earliest the season would start would be September 6th.
Title: Re: 2015 seasons
Post by: D-Rock425 on November 07, 2014, 08:33:52 AM: 2015 season would start September 12th.

They have a month season 8/30-9/28. If Washington had that season you wouldn't hear anyone complaining... Except for the rifle guys? :chuckle:

Post by: Katmai Guy on November 07, 2014, 09:13:48 AM: And it never even gets good until the last week or two.

Post by: DIYARCHERYJUNKIE on November 08, 2014, 07:11:57 AM: I like the early sept hunts. But probably just cause I've never hunter late sept. Any way atleast there considering options.
