Rifle season would consist of 3, 9 day seasons. The Sat before Thanksgiving thru the next Sunday. The Sat before Christmas thru the next Sunday. And one more time in January. That would cover a good percentage of gun hunting that takes place currently. What say you? I don't think anything will change, probably ever. Just thinking out loud.

I don't like the length of rifle season either, but it's another way the state has provided the maximum opportunity possible for people to enjoy a lengthy season. I'm ok with that.

As long as there is 6 full weekends included, and the entire 27 days were doe days, and maybe increase the limit back to 2 does a day during gun season. I could deal with it being archery the rest of the time. I would most likely add a cross bow to my arsenal if that were the case. Also maybe add a shotgun/muzzle loader late season for 10 days. Get about 45'total days of rifle season vs some where around 70 days now.

We got to start bowhunting on October 25th. Twenty days later, the youth gun weekend was going, and one more week to the traditional gun opener through Thanksgiving weekend. During the 10 day "off" season for guns, it averaged about 75 degrees for highs down south. Some states allow months of archery hunting outside of gun seasons.

Stop killing bucks at #3 and it shouldn't matter what you kill him with. Last edited by wmd; 12/17/14 05:41 AM.

Either folks don't care about the new laws or they didn't read the new regs. If it were up to me, there wouldn't even be a rifle season.
