MDC,

Has the antlerless portion of the 2010-2011 deer season been set in stone?

Myself along with many other hunters believe that doe season should not run concurrent with regular firearms season. It just seems that 23 days of rifle hunting in a row is too much.

I would like to see a break or "cool down" period between regular and antlerless. I think this would give the deer herd time to settle down giving hunters a better oppurtunity to harvest a doe.

Thank you

It has not been set in stone but I don't anticipate the timing changing either. The season timing was changed because many muzzleloader hunters had the same complaint and wanted to allow the deer a settling down period.
