MD Bow Season

Lefty26 · 07-21-2003, 05:41 AM

I was looking at the opening date for bow season here in MD, its Sept 15. If I' m not mistaken this is a Monday, anyone else think its wierd for the opening day to be on a Monday? Traditionaly the bow opener is always a Saturday, I' m gonna have to take a day off work to hunt the opener. Anyone else know why this is? Or am I missing something.

It' s always been the 15th no matter what day of the week it falls on unless the 15th is a Sunday then it opens on the 14th or the Saturday before.

I' m taking the day off also just to get out in the woods. I figure it' s a lot better than being at work, and I get to do something I like at the same time.

I used to take it off, but no more. Vacation time is better spent in early to mid November!

I was kinda glad to see that the 15h fell on a Monday this year. Maybe there won' t be as many guys out the first day.

Like Mdbowhuntr said, the bowseason here has always opened on the 15th, except on those years when the 15th falls on a Sunday--then it' s the 14th. I always take off for it and personally PREFER that it not be on a Saturday--helps to keep the crowds down.

GUN season has always started on a Saturday--maybe thats' s what you' re thinking about.

I recently moved to MD from PA. I have only hunted MD 2 years and I think both of those years it fell on a saturday, I just assumed it always opened on Saturday. But you know know what they say happens when you ass-u-me. Your right about a monday being better, less people running around chasing the dear all over. Thanks guys for the info.
