Title: Permit hunts for muzzy in the blues, they screwed us by 2 days.
Post by: trophyhunt on February 07, 2015, 10:16:09 PM: If the proposed dates hold up, which they usually do. They will take away the first 2 days of permit hunts in the blues for muzzy quality bull, why?? I don't get the reason for this, changing dates and adding unit's is great but why change the dates on Quality elk hunts? I know they will change next year but normally they stay the same dates when it comes to permit hunts. I'm seriously thinking about ghost points this year and go otc with the new archery dates. Those first two days of October were off the hook.

I saw that also, Scott, do you think that it's better to start on the first or end on the 24th? I just might switch to archery this year but there is a lot of studying to do when the new regs come out. I know, big surprise, me thinking about switching!!!!
