[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 83466, member: 843"] Archery opens October 1st. It remains open during both Muzz Seasons, however is closed during the shotgun seasons. It closes during the second week of January. This gives the bow hunters the entire month of November to hunt the rut before the 1st season shotgun season opens. Definitely the thing I miss most about Iowa. A guy (hunting public land) can actually experience all stages of the rut and from up close. If the NDGF feels like they need to go to a one buck tag system, I think they should adopt something similar. Give the bow guys another week in November before the rifle season opens up. And shuffle more tags into the Muzzleloader season. Bow Season: Sept 1st - Second Friday in November Rifle Season: 13 days - Open Second Saturday in November until the Thursday 13 days later Muzz Season: 16 days - Open Last Saturday in November (open 3 weekends) Make it a requirement that every deer shot needs to be registered. Start getting real success data. Dates could be tweaked a bit above, but you get the idea. IMO the current rifle season has too much going for it, 3 weekends long during the peak of the rut. Spread it out a bit. [/QUOTE]
