Thanks! That's what I was thinking, we normally get five weekends and rifle never opens till November!

[bowhunt3]

usually the last weekend in September.

[SPUD]

5 Saturdays before the Gun season (1st sat in nov) opens

So October 3rd

This is our first year having to turn vacation request in like this. Is that the normal way now days?

I posted the regs on how seasons are determined last year and even made a calander so to speak for the next several years. Do a search and you should be able to find it.
