Default How long is your bow season

Whats your season like? To my surprize the state of CT is quite liberal with season length. How do we compare with your state?

The season starts 9/15 and can run through 1/31 depending on the zone. In my zone I can only hunt till the end of December. Bag limits are 4 deer with additional 2 tags for certain areas. I'd think you folks in the deep south have the longest seasons?

My early season opens on September 11, 2004 and runs thru mid December. I believe it ends on the 16th but I'd have to double check.

I live in the Central Region of NC and the season is from Sept. 11th thru Jan. 1st. That includes Bow, Muzzleloader, and Gun. In this region you can take a total of 6 deer (4 bucks and 2 does).

Here in NJ our season begins in early September (11th?) and runs thru until the end of October. Then permit bow season starts end of October and runs thru to almost December. Winter bow season goes from January 1st until mid February. Factor is that in middle/late November permit shotgun comes into play along with the statewide shotgun buck season and then all of January and part of February is permit shotgun. So, I never counted the total days, but I cannot wait until I retire so that I can hunt 6 days a week from Sept until February!!
