bigbuck145 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I see some of you talking about late archery season and the second gun season. I was wandering how long the seasons last? Here where i live in Jasper TX archery season starts at the end of september runs to the day before rifle season which is the first weekend of nov. Rifle season go form then to the first weekend in jan. The we have a 2 week muzzleloader season where you can only shoot does and spikes. Anyway i was just wandering how long ya'lls seasons lasted and if ya'll like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unioncountyslayer Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Our season here in NC is pretty much like yours. We open the season with archery (2nd week in Sept.-First Weekend in Nov., then a one week muzzleloader season, and finish out with gun season through Jan. 1). I've always liked having a long archery season becuase there are so fewer bowhunters and the pressure stays pretty low for 2 months. They are trying to pass an "open season" for next year which I hope doesn't happen. Basically, the season dates would remain the same, but there would be no specific weapons dates.

Tominator Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Ohio's wanders into Feb for archery. One more weekend of shotgun next weekend, and then ML season from Dec 26-29 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck145 Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Yea i like the archery season better as well cause there is no pressure on the deer four a couple months. Where my dad and me hunt (deer lease) we are the only two that bow hunt. Everyone else is from out of town and only come up during rifle season. My dad has taken 2 or 3 pope and youngs. He's biggest with a bow is an 8 that scored 136 2/8 had 13" g 2's 4' g 1' long main beams just an awesome buck. I have been bowhuntin for 7 years and last year i killed my first bow kill which was an 8 that scored 125 he had 12" g 2's 4" g 1's g 3's were just a little over 7 inche 16 1/4 wide had kinda short main beams. After all those years of sittin in the treestand and lettin the smaller bucks go my persistance and determination finally paid off. I would rather bow hunt than gun hunt. But i hunt during archery and rifle cause i want pass up the chance to go climb the tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Firearm (shotgun/ML/handgun) the weekends before and after Thanksgiving. ML only this coming weekend. Late season firearm (antlerless only) 3rd weekend in Jan. There is also a youth (16 and under) firearm season in mid-October. Archery Oct. 1st -Jan. 15th or 16th (can't archery hunt during firearm seasons). Actually since deer hunting in IL is a big deal I'm glad to see the short firearm seasons. I also like the generous archery season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Ohio's wanders into Feb for archery. One more weekend of shotgun next weekend, and then ML season from Dec 26-29 I think. LOL, wanders huh.:D Season here for archery opens the 4th Saturday in Sept and we have season of some sort open for deer all the way up usually until the second Sunday in January. The seasons are closed for one weekend, usually the 4th Saturday and Sunday in October, for the youth hunt. Then there is another youth hunt after the end of the season in January. Our first ml segment usually opens the first Saturday of November and runs until the following Sunday, then it goes back to archery. Gun(rifle) opens typically the 3rd or 4th Saturday and runs for 2 weeks also ends on the Sunday of the second week which makes it a 16 day segment. Back to ml(2nd segment) after the rifle season closes for one week, this is the segment we are in now. After ml closes we have 5 days of archery then back to gun for the remainder of the season. Archery gear can be used throughout, and ml'ers can be used during the gun season. All in all the season part of the regs here are ok.
