Here in OK it's Oct 1 - January 1. There are some folks out in orange a couple weeks of that time. I sat in a tree with a rifle last sunday feeling pretty darn guilty my longbow was on the rack back at home. It was an invitation from my brother-in-law so I did it. Finally got permission to hunt some land so late season will be a lot of fun for me. Still got a month to tote my longbow around the woods.
