We have an early archery-only season Sept 1-9, then a late one Nov 25-Dec 10. IN between, firearms are open but you can still hunt with archery tackle if you want.

I usually hunt several days in the earlyarchery and a bunch in the late one. But in between I often go up north for moose and to another distant location for mule deer with rifle in between. It looks like that will be my pattern this year.
