Anybody know if they passed the bill to open the season early?I heard yes and no.I think it is too early myself.

It's always opened on Sept. 27th up North, what's a couple of days....Early Bear is like Sept. 15th. I think the earlier, the better.........just more time in the woods being able to take game is a good thing. Real nice weather also, great for a canoe or back-pack trip into the big woods.  

Early Bear in the Ad's- Got ta love it!  :

Ron W, We should start a Trad hunt in the Big Woods      

Knawbone.....can be done , just don't expect to great numbers of anything....lol! I plan to spend some more time up there this season......just because!!

It had always been Oct 1 here in Missouri for as long as I can remember, then they changed it to Sept 15 in 2004.  So I don't think it is too early.

It's not a done deal yet but looks as though it will happen.

Ron, Let me know when, Iv' been wanting to get back up there for way too long. If we do happen to get lucky, thats just icing on the cake.Three or fore guys together would be perfect. Canoe trips are a good way to hunt { and fish }. Closed summer camping areas can also be an option. Your getting me worked up Ron- when do we go?

I went to a Trad Only 3D shoot in CT a few weeks ago. Happen to meet the VP of either the PBA or NY Bowhunters. Can't remember the organization. He mentioned that it was still be considered strongly. He also had some grim information about crossbows in NY.

Must have been our VP Richie. He is a great asset to us.
