why does everyone want more and more changes,hunting seasons are fine as is, except for muzzleloader seasons.  Every time the rifle and archery guys start crying, the muzzie guys get something else taken away.

Also, for you to think that just because someone doesn't take vacation to hunt makes them not as passionate as those that do is absurd!  I get five weeks of vacation a year but it's scheduled I have no say when I get to take it and I promise you that my passion for hunting is second to very few people.

I would like to see hunters that draw a bull or buck permit start before the general season
So you'd rather have a mule deer tag for late Sept/early October, instead of the first 20 days of November?  :dunno:
.  Ok early start on Bulls. I'm not a deer hunter didn't think about the winter migration you are totally correct about leaving the deer season as is

What if a guy doesn't get any vacation :dunno:  What if a guy only gets a week but uses it to take his family on a vacation :dunno:  This means he isn't a passionate hunter and should be penalized :dunno:  Let a few guys get in there and scatter everything to hell and back before most of the weekend warriors get their chance :dunno:

I'd have no job and no wife if I were to let my hunting passion run wild. Weekend warrior through and through. Please don't rip from me what limited time I have!!

I have 3 weeks vacation and 90% of it gets used for hunting.   The few other days I use are for bigger archery shoots I bring the whole family to and camp for long weekend.  With my kids getting old enough now I have to start planning vacations to Disney land and stuff instead of elk camps.  Think it's just fine the way it is.

Longer seasons would solve everyone's issues.  If we had 5-6 weekend to hunt this would all go away.   :twocents:

Not often I will go this route... But what a dumb ass idea!!

Screw the poor sclepp over that has to work for a living. We would all love to get an early jump on the masses, but that's just screwing someone who does not have the ability to take extra time off.

  Want to avoid the crowds? Work harder and get farther away from the easy access.

Anybody remember what year they switched from Wednesday opener to Saturday? It was quite a few years ago,im guessing maybe 1995ish. (Westside) Not sure if Eastside ever opened on Wednesday

If memory serves me . For MF westside , it was a few years later about the same time that WDFW lenghtened the season . For alot of years it was 8 days .

BAD IDEA.

We are having enough trouble recruiting kids into hunting.

Bingo!
