Post by: BearCreekCookBook on September 29, 2023, 10:06:30 AM: Last year it started on the 15th, the 3rd Saturday.

*Edit* just checked the 2019 regs when the calendar looked the same and it started on the 12th. Good for the deer, rough for hunting.

Oh, and thanks for the advice bone.

It will usually say in the management plan what the general seasons will be for the next three years.

The old “standard “ used to be it always opened the last week or two in October, we always spent Halloween in hunting camp growing up, I never spent Halloween in my neighborhood. We would trick or treat around little Bellingham. The memories are awesome. I remember my dad telling stories of trick or treating back in his day around Little Bellingham, 1920,s and up. Over 100 folks there during that time with folks from game wardens, politicians and war heroes. I remember dad telling stories of going from bonfire to bonfire, he’d get back and empty his sack in grandma and grandpas old green wall tent. He had bullets, pocket knives, apples, carrots a deer hoof or two, sardine cans(full), oysters(the same), and on and on, he said he was so excited to find one, just one piece of candy!😆😆😆

Then the real hunting started, sometimes going to the 9 or so of November. Memories, yep I got a few.👍

The deer where not spooked, many nice bucks where taken. We didn't go over for the first week.
bigmacc, did you go for the whole 5 weeks, we just did the last.
