Title: Monday-Friday permit hunts
Post by: HoofsandWings on March 28, 2012, 08:49:21 PM: Noticed several of the proposed permit hunts were weekdays.
I guess those who have vacation time will put in for them.

Oh, well if you draw one of those, it will be well worth taking the time off work, even if it's unpaid!

I think they had to squeeze them in between the general archery season and the muzzleloader season.
