Six day push on muzzy season? Where do you see that? Still 9 day season for deer and 7 days for elk, early season. That hasn't changed from the previous years.

I think he's referring to the change in the season, last year it opened October 1, this year October 7. But that's not a change, really. It's just the normal change in the calendar that affects the timing of the season. And we've known since early 2021 that it would open October 7 this year.

 It’s interesting that they can’t get the 2022 harvest report out before the regs.

Yeah I'm sure the info was out there, this is just the first I'm seeing it.

If they remove a permit, there is no red though, right? I don't see the one we applied for last year.

You're right.  I see the one missing.

maybe i missed it or misread something, but are both chelan north and south goat units no longer a thing?, they were on the ma as a unit but i did not see them listed, i quickly read them at work, so i could easily have over read it

Probably don't have accurate data until people start buying the next year's license and realize they can't until they report...  I'll bet a lot of their data comes in between now and June 1st..
