Default How long is your archery-deer season?

This has probably been asked a few times, but....

I'm from Illinois and ours goes from Oct 1st until mid January with time out for a couple of shotgun weekends.

What's yours like? (If I move out of state, I want at least as long of a season as I have here.)

Keep 'em all in the Bull.

Here in Va, (east of the Blue Ridge, most of the state) it typically runs from the first Saturday in Oct to the frist Saturday in Jan. this year in Northern Va it started the 21rst of Sept with the state tagging all does on a DMAP program until the official start on the 5th of Oct. it runs through all the gun seasons and Black Powder season.

Ours in PA is 6 weeks starting around Oct 1st. Comes back in for 2 more weeks after christmas. Most of the time that the season is in, there are small game seasons and/or muzzleloader season running also.

This year.... Sept 14 - Jan 31.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> If you count the fact I started bowhunting on a crop damage permit the first week in July the past couple years I guess that would be July 4 - Jan 31(although I usually only shoot one on Crop Damage and quit until the regular season). <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> After a while you get tired of it.NOT!!! I only went twice in the past week. I haven't really been in my killin' mode lately, but I do have to shoot one more for the freezer. So, the next good shot that shows up I'm taking.

Ohio runs from the first Saturday in Oct. to Jan 31 with no breaks. Hopefully it stays that long but Ohio allows crossbows in during bowseason. They now account for more deer taken than longbows.

Texas has a 30 day &quot;bow only&quot; season that starts the last weekend of Sep. There is one week off before the general seaon starts the first weekend of November and continues until the weekend after New Years. The general season can be hunted with either bow or firearms.
