Sorry my area has so few pheasents and not much small game that it doesn' t really affect me. I see pheasents few and far between.

I agree with you 100% about to many seasons being crammed into oct/nov time frame. And our group doesn' t small game till late seasons after flintlock ends because we value our time in archery. No sense sitting all day only to have another person come marching through with a dog and shotgun.

I think PGC should try to balance the seasons out a bit better there has to be a way where small game can co-exist but no infringe upon archery. One of the few solutions to that would be to open September up to archery. Or maybe have a break in small game for the first 2 weeks of november to allow for archers to enjoy the rut. It isn' t like the small game season is short. And being a few years away from losing a ton of hunting property to development I can relate cause I will be back on SGL with you and others.
