Wasn't there some discussion about haveing a mid range high power rifle (30-30 etc) season or the inclusion of them into the firearms season. If I was bringing in the mid ranges I would put that season in Last week of Dec and first week of Jan preempting a week of late archery. I do not beleive that there are many late archery hunter out as a general rule anyway due to the usual bad weather. Speaking of weather hasn.t this been a great mild winter. Right now I am betting that there are going to be more than the normal amount of twins and triplets come May.
