Title: Shooting hours
Post by: DoubleJ on July 30, 2011, 01:28:34 PM

The regs start at Sept 1.  Bear season starts Aug 1.  What are the shooting hours for the month of August?  Is it simply 1/2 hr before and after sunrise/set?

I was trying to convince everyone that hunting them at night, in Aug, was legal.  No one seemed to be convinced.   :dunno:  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Use the sunrise/sunset times on your GPS unit.

Here's a strange one for you, no shooting hours in AK. Still trying to get use to it. People talk about spot light hunting all the time up this way.  :dunno: Not many legal big game animals within 50 miles of a HWY anyway so I think most just do it for small game like fox and lynx.
