 INSTANT SURVEY VOTE ON - POLL s612
Do you favor extending the archery deer hunting season to include the nine days that are concurrent with the traditional November firearm season?
BACKGROUND: Question 28 in the 2011 Spring Fish & Wildlife Hearings Questionnaire: Eliminate the archery deer hunting season closure during the traditional firearm season. Today, firearm and archery deer seasons run concurrently in metro units, the CWD Management Zone and statewide during the ten-day muzzleloader-only, four-day December antlerless-only and four-day October herd-control seasons.
Few, if any, problems have been identified. Extending the archery deer season by nine days would increase archery hunting opportunities for people who prefer to hunt with a bow, have filled their firearm carcass tags, or who hunt in areas where firearms discharge is prohibited. Archers would still be required to wear blaze orange during firearm deer seasons.
This change would take place in 2012.
