Yeah I do think it's too long. Where I hunt if I had from Oct 15th to Dec 15th I'd be happy. I'm South alabama I'm sure people would rather have Dec 15th to Feb 15th.

Follow up question…….Do you feel like shortening the season by 1-2 weeks would have any significant impact or would it have to be shortened much more?

83% of all statistics are made up.

Rifle season state wide:
Saturday prior to thanksgiving until the Sunday after thanksgiving.
Jan 15 - Jan 25
Archery:
Oct 15 - Jan 31
Muzzle-loader:
Sept 15- Sept 30 (bucks only)
Dec 25 - Jan 2
Or this scenario would likely make some of you happy:
Jan 1 - Dec 31 any weapon and no limit on bucks or does ( spotted fawns legal)

When’s all said and done, there’s really only two things that the DCNR can change for you guys wanting to see change. They can shorten your season or they can decrease your bag limits. This discussion is 50% of that. If they’re going to shorten the season, then 1-2 weeks won’t make a hill of beans difference unless they take it out of the heart of the rut. You could close down the first 3 weeks of Dec but total harvest likely wouldn’t be that much different in the end. The bulk of our annual harvest is going to come during the first 10 ish days of gun season and 2-3 weeks surrounding the rut.
I think to make any significant impact with changes to season length then you are talking about having to make some hardcore changes. Changes like either cutting out 4+ weeks of hunting or going to a 2-3 week gun season. I think either one would be more than what most folks would be willing to do or be happy with.

Where I hunt I would be for
bow season 15 Nov - 31 Jan
gun season 15 Dec - 31 Jan
basically shave a month off at the beginning of season.

No need to cut out recreation for people.
With a 3 buck limit in place and hopefully a doe limit where needed its not doing any harm to extend the season. And I got a feeling they are going to cut the unlimited doe killing before too long. I agree with a sensible doe limit there would be no need to ever consider shortening the season and there never would have been a need for a buck limit either for that matter....
