Robhuntandfish Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 anyone take a peak at next year season dates yet?? We were talking at work about time off for next year so i looked at dates quick. Gonna be a weird year. Opening day of southern gun is Nov 21st. Late start for sure. If you arent a bowhunter yet, theres another selling point. Def missing out on a lot of the chasing phase/rut with a late gun start like that. Now my quandary will be when to take off?? i really like the two weeks of crossbow but also like the first two weeks of Nov the best which usually about coincide. Seems after mid Nov I dont see the chasing. Got a while to work on it of course but it will be a bit different for sure. If i take a bunch of time off first two weeks - that will leave the third week and crossbow with me at work and well ......thats just no good! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Real_TCIII Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Love the super late gun opener. A three week season will probably sell some crossbows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gun opener is always the 3rd sat in Nov. And xbow is always the two weeks prior to gun season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nov 1 is a sunday which pushes all the Sats back so that there isnt a third sat til the 21st 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock3y24 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Gun always 3rd sat, crossbow is only 2 weeks before that not nov 1. Just take extended weekends instead of big chunks of time off, I find that 4-5day weekends work better for me and get burnt out less. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock3y24 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Not really weird, happens every 5 years. Gun opens 21, 20, 19,18, 17 or 16 usually rotating backwards, sine this year was 16 we go back to the later date and start goIng down each year.

But if I do that then the third week which will now be xbow I wont have any time off. I usually dont take much of any time off in gun unless I havent gotten a deer. But figured a lot of guys plan around the rut and this might change some plans. Happens every few years with the calendar but def different for next seasons plans. I blame leap year and daylight savings time - lol Edited November 25, 2019 by Robhuntandfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A three week season will probably sell some crossbows might not be three week xbow - but doesnt that give us an extra week of bow hunting and just hunting in general?

The best deer action I've ever had was a few years back the morning after a full moon. It was absolutely crazy, deer everywhere around my stand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moog5050 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) I was trying to figure out how 3rd sat moved from Nov. 16 to Nov. 21. I would have thought it was Nov. 15 next year but saw the same as you Rob. Is 2020 a leap year? Normally the days only move by one each year I think. Like Tacks, I like late gun too unless I am already tagged out in bow. lol. Edited November 25, 2019 by moog5050 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
