I don't think the special opportunity hunts mean gun hunting in bow season. It has to stand for something else. Yall look at Lowndes dates. Only one weekend is a gun hunt the WHOLE SEASON. Then it has other weekends listed as "special opportunity". Can someone that knows for sure chime in and clarify this?
There is 2 different high fence. 1 small and one big! Mine was free range in the big pen and was not a breeder buck. Why does it have to be twisted around??

Special opportunity hunt (AKA)- Early gun hunt to get folks in the woods on these areas when deer are hopefully beginning to rut. These hunts are prior to regular gun season. We are trying some new things and hopefully will increase man days on the WMA system and get folks interested in public lands again.
Believe it or not we do listen when people make suggestions that we can back up with data. Win win...

Ahh heck - why even have a bow season Mr state employee? Just take everything bow hunters have left!
Great point. Maybe the DCNR and CAB will take this under consideration. Open "deer season" on Oct. 15 or Oct. 1 and end it on Feb. 15. Open season, no weapons restrictions. Zones? Fine. WMA special seasons? Fine.

When was the last time you set foot on public land anyway You know me, I am a bow hunter first and foremost but I think it is a good idea to get folks on public land again.

WMA special seasons? Fine. Can't speak to it in my professional role... but you know there are special interest groups that would never let that happen.

I want a "handgun only" season from December 10-17 every year. Only handguns - nothing else, period. No bows, no crossbows, no rifles or old guns or flintlocks or anvils or spears. Just handguns.
Will be good for the deer to give them a little break and will help the handgun hunters enjoy some time in the woods ... like the bowhunters get, for a month.
