Yes i could see where an october gun season would screw up some peoples bow hunting but notice we already have a mid october youth season in most counties and that goes mostly unnoticed in my neck of the woods. i think most hunters will wait until november to chase that trophy buck instead of burning up vacation on a doe only hunt. i personaly am a meat hunter so i would welcome a late october gun hunt on my farm. i just dont think you would see the numbers of hunters afield in october as some would think i know in my neck of the woods we only have probably a fourth as many hunters during the january doe season as we do during regular firearm seasons . i just really think more deer will get disturbed by upland game hunters and people sighting in for november than would get spooked by another doe season...
