RE: New deer season start dates for 2005
Check out the thread on this back a week or so ago. If enacted, this will cut archery from 5 weeks of ubdisturbed hunting to the 1st 2 weeks of Oct. The early MZ is anterless only. I use a modern inline (Omega) in regular season instead of a shotgun because it is a more effective weapon. I cannot understand the need for a week in early oct to take a doe with a single shot rifle. If more opportunity is needed to fill the tag, let it be used in the regular season - an extra 25 days to take a doe and archery does not need to be gutted.
