This would give the hunter that has the passion to take the days off work,a quality hunt.Also gets the animals a chance to spread out, so its not COMBAT HUNTING.Give each group two weekends and 3 extra day's, close it on a Sunday.
How about seasons only open on weekdays. :tup: :chuckle:

You seriously judge people's passion for hunting by what and how many days they take vacation from their job?

How bout, if you apply for a special permit you cant hunt till Wednesday! I like that even better :tup::yeah:
And I was thinking that I was beginning to believe I was the only one with this point of view.

We are having enough trouble recruiting kids into hunting.

Also, for you to think that just because someone doesn't take vacation to hunt makes them not as passionate as those that do is absurd! I get five weeks of vacation a year but it's scheduled I have no say when I get to take it and I promise you that my passion for hunting is second to very few people.

why does everyone want more and more changes,hunting seasons are fine as is, except for muzzleloader seasons. Every time the rifle and archery guys start crying, the muzzie guys get something else taken away.Agree, leave it alone.

. Ok early start on Bulls. I'm not a deer hunter didn't think about the winter migration you are totally correct about leaving the deer season as isI would like to see hunters that draw a bull or buck permit start before the general seasonSo you'd rather have a mule deer tag for late Sept/early October, instead of the first 20 days of November? :dunno:

What if a guy doesn't get any vacation :dunno: What if a guy only gets a week but uses it to take his family on a vacation :dunno: This means he isn't a passionate hunter and should be penalized :dunno: Let a few guys get in there and scatter everything to hell and back before most of the weekend warriors get their chance :dunno:

This makes sense. How dare you post something on this thread that makes sense! :nono:

Longer seasons would solve everyone's issues. If we had 5-6 weekend to hunt this would all go away. :twocents:

Screw the poor sclepp over that has to work for a living. We would all love to get an early jump on the masses, but that's just screwing someone who does not have the ability to take extra time off.
Want to avoid the crowds? Work harder and get farther away from the easy access.

Anybody remember what year they switched from Wednesday opener to Saturday? It was quite a few years ago,im guessing maybe 1995ish. (Westside) Not sure if Eastside ever opened on Wednesday
If memory serves me . For MF westside , it was a few years later about the same time that WDFW lenghtened the season . For alot of years it was 8 days .

I think you can look for seasons to get shorter before they will ever get longer. :yike:

How about a 8 week season alternating one week open one week closed no weapon choice Deer and Elk open same time ?

BAD IDEA.This is it.
We are having enough trouble recruiting kids into hunting.
Last week my partner mis read the regs re: this seasons elk opener date (opening friday). We havent purchased tags yet and my thoughts were switch states due to my son having to miss the opening. This states recruitment would pile into the porcelain if this were to happen.
I see I'm not alone in this belief.
