902.0. "Changing Hunting Seasons." by PERFCT::PAPPALARDO (A Pure Hunter) Thu Jan 31 1991 13:23

    
    In N.H., I think it's time for the hunting-seasons to be re-addressed.
    For example...
    
                     Bow-season today is mid-Sept thru Mid-Dec. 
               Would like to change this to Mid-Oct thru Mid-Jan.
    
                     Muzzle-loader today(last-year) was 10/27 thru 11/3 or
                     so....
               Would like to see this the first Saturady in Nov. thru the
               2nd Wednesday in Nov.
    
                     Rifle/Shotgun is 1st Wednesday in Nov thru DEC,2nd
               Would like to see changed to 2nd Wednesday in Nov thru
               3rd Sunday in December.
    
               The Waterfowl seasons need change as well. The start and end
               to early.
    
               What's your thoughts?

	Rick, what's your reasons for wanting the deer seasons changed? As for the waterfowl seasons, I would like to see the 2nd half of the split season long and the first half shorter at least inland. I don't know about changing the dates for later in the year, though. The migrations depend so much on the weather. This year was extremely mild and slowed down a lot of the hunting and later seasons would have been better. On the otherhand, it was horribly cold last December and Great bay was froze solid before the waterfowl season ended. Mark,
902.2	I think deer season is just fine	SALEM::MACGREGOR		`Fri Feb 01 1991 11:12`	10
	Rick, I happen to like the way the deer hunting seasons are at the moment. They seem to coincide with the rut perfectly. As a matter of fact, if any thing about the deer hunting I would like to see the start of regular firearms season to start a week earlier. I don't hunt birds much anymore. I don't have any input on those seasons. I think the reason they pushed it back a week was because bird hunters were complaining about hunting with their dogs in the woods during deer season. Bret
902.3	Southern NH wanted to hunt on snow	CHRLIE::HUSTON		`Fri Feb 01 1991 12:21`	10
	The reported reason for pushing the NH deer season back a week was to give the southern NH hunters a better chance to hunt on snow. This what the F&G reported when they made the change. As for dogs, I don't buy that logic since the bird seasons all run until end of Dec anyways. --Bob
902.4		JAWS::PAPPALARDO	A Pure Hunter	`Fri Feb 01 1991 12:59`	14
	The main reason for wanting the season pushed out is to hunt deer in colder drier weather rather than in warmer wet weather. As we all know the weather has certainly changed from 15 years ago and it seems the first two weeks of the season is to hot, hell, even the bugs are flying around..... I'm not so much interested in snow, though it's always welcomed, but more in colder-drier weather as I stated. rick Ricks
902.5	push back deer season?	PURDEY::JUCH		`Tue Mar 12 1991 18:03`	7
	Have to say I'm not against pushing the deer season back another week. The Atlantic woodcock season is 45 days. Pushing the deer season another week would give us the entire time (can't start before 1 Oct.) Doodles seem to migrate later and return earlier every year.
