What happened to our new proposed deer seasons?
H6) Establish a uniform deer season (matching the current Eastern Deer Season) in and east of Yancey, McDowell and Rutherford counties (WRC Districts 1-8), on private lands only, with the following structure:
• bow and arrow season opens on the Saturday on or nearest to September 10 and ends the fourth Friday thereafter;
• muzzleloader season opens the Saturday on or nearest to October 8 and ends the following Friday;
• and all lawful weapon seasons opens the Saturday on or nearest to October 15 and ends January 1.
• Bow and arrow will be allowed during the muzzleloader season.

Motion from Big Game Committee to modify as follows: Deer seasons in the Northwestern Deer Season will be changed so that the regular gun season is extended through January 1. Deer seasons in the Eastern, Central, and Western deer season structures will remain unchanged.
Adopted (as modified).
I looked at the maps and it said we only ran through Dec 19th here in the Northwestern season?????? Did they jerk that back off and run it back through the hoops again and get it changed?
