The wives might have something to say about that...they count on their a-hole being away at Thanksgiving..

Hilarious

I'm not sure exactly how long ago it was,but,I distinctly remember several of our crew staying at camp for two weeks,the first for Moose and the second for Deer. This year,it happens again. How the "new" regulations bugger everyone up remains to be seen.

I remember this happening several years ago and it does create a logistical problem. Our camp hunts the 1 week moose season and both weeks of the deer season. I can't see many of our members being in a position to be away hunting 3 weeks in a row.

Given that both deer and moose season opening dates vary depending on resident vs non-resident status (and with a nod to Thanksgiving weekend), perhaps the Ministry is more interested in protecting the revenue rather than the bulls. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Iowa manages their deer seasons similar to Ontario (residents first, visitors second), whereas Michigan takes everyone's money simultaneously and sells tags until they're gone (although only residents can procure crop damage tags). One difference in Michigan: your license is your tag, so the state doesn't double-dip (although Michigan regulations do not permit tagging a deer you didn't shoot, which greatly discourages party hunting).

You have to show the wife who the boss is.

It will also be like this in 2021, unless the rules change. Which is possible, with the new moose system going into full use that year.

Yep,season changes and a full lottery system will change life as we know it. I guess it was inevitable.

I dont remember if date changes were happening with the new system.

Yeah,me neither. All we're seeing right now are "proposals". When the Act actually changes with concrete data is anyone's guess. It takes time.

I was anticipating a Oct. 10 start date for Gun season , sadly, just found out
it's pushed back to Oct. 17th.... since we fly in for our Hunt... the Bulls are long gone from the lake and retreated up to the ridges and hills in the surounding area .From past experiences , the best time for us has always been closer to Oct 5- Oct 13th period . Very deflating !!!! Now , have to approach my group and consider Archery Hunt which starts Sept 26.... anyone else with this dilema , lets hear it !
