Late Archery General Season Date Change
« on: November 20, 2021, 10:20:10 AM »
I'm not sure how I missed this, but is it right that the late archery is now the 24-30?

It's not noted in red like it should be if so. The fact that I would have had to miss the proposal, miss the discussion that would have happened here, and that it's not highlighted in red makes me wonder (hope) that it's a WDFW typo...

Can anyone confirm?

Depends what unit you hunt. I have this and last years regs in front of me. Some subtle changes to a few units.  :dunno:

Typically the season is the 21-30, not the 24-30th.

Just seems odd this change (21-30th for as far back as I can remember), isn't noted in red. It snuck up on me, expecting tomorrow as the opening day. Just lucky I looked at the last second.

I get what you are saying. Good reminder to always check the regs. 15 to 20 years ago Dad and I went trout fishing in late February at a lake that had been open year round FOR YEARS. I can't remember why I checked, but i did and found out it now had a season of which we were fishing out of season. Whoops! Lucky we didnt get caught.

How many people will be out at the normal dates and not have read the regulation date change

These dates have been in place for years! The 21st-24th are usually the hottest days of the rut. I would almost be willing to say it’s been 10 years. There are a few units that open a day earlier, but it’s usually 24th/25th.

I just looked at the seasons all the way back to 2009, and it's been November 21-30 every year until 2021. I think I'd call and find out if that might be an error in the pamphlet.

I guess it comes down to units. The Northeast units for whitetail have been 24th/25th for some time.

Should someone tell the guy headed to the entiat in the morning to hunt, or should we just let him have a couple nice days in the woods almost alone?

(No idea if he is driving to or hunting, or if these dates are for this unit)

Looks like his QT started today so he should be good...

I heard that many hunters were shooting grouse on September 1st this year even though it didnt open till the 15th, always need to double check the regs!
