Nope...I'm quite content with Iowa's dates. October - January. Can't complain.

These are my favorite posts, I love setting the rules!
First off, sunday hunting would be allowed.

1. Archery would run Oct 1 thru Jan 31.
2. Gun season would run the saturday after thanksgiving to the following sunday. (9 days)
3. Early ML and youth/senoir special rifle would be eliminated
4. 3 weeks following the close of gun season, the flintlock/Xbowseason would open for14 days. (saturday start, sunday close) regardless of when Xmas fell.
Rybo - I'm writing you in on the next ballot.

I'll add that Bear Season should include at least one weekend day (not deer-related, just a peeve of mine), and that the antler restriction should be expanded to 4 points, statewide.
Man, you guys got my vote. The only thing I would add is that crossbows coincide with muzzleloader season throughout the state, and do not fall within archery season in special regs areas.

I would make my bow season run from the middle of September right up to January.

Oh, wait, my state already does that.

I honesly feel bad for some of you guys, some of your states bow seasons are just too short.

I like the Michigan laws already..but one thing i would change is that you get 2 tags MAX.....1 buck...1 doe period. Around where im at i people shoot so many deer, and they all wonder why they never see any record book bucks.

I'm with ya Zubba, I love our dates. Not a big fan of the shotgun seasons though, to many idiots shooting at anything that moves.
