Title: Contradicting whitetail season
Post by: Jlittlebear31 on November 23, 2023, 03:14:05 PM: I just finished a weekend of hunting in 243. I could have shot two nice whitetail bucks well within bow range yesterday. I didn't because the regs I downloaded had the whitetail hunt starting on the 23rd (today). When I told me buddy about it, he swore it opened on the 22nd. I was sure, so I showed him the regs on my phone. Point proven! Then, he showed me the eregs he had and sure enough, his said the season opened yesterday.
Did I miss an update somewhere? Pretty frustrating as I had to come home for Thanksgiving and won't have time to return. I feel like it cost me a nice whitetail buck. I've attached photos of the regs....both 2023 regs with the same gals on it with a deer.

How does one get the updates?

I get all the calm fishing stuff, never have gotten a hunting update.
