2023 Big Game

[def90]

So, my doe tag came this weekend, and it looks like it's good from Sept 01 through Oct 31st - two months! Is that right? Is that normal? Seems like the last one I got in 2016 was only like, 10 days! Am I seeing things?

Yes, private land only tags often have longer seasons associated with them. The idea behind private land tags is that they are supposedly for landowners to use to cull deer/elk on their property as well as make up for the fact that private land doesn’t get the hunting pressure that public does. The longer season makes up for fewer hunters.

Cool, thanks! Means my chances are better!
