Archery

The late season portion of the archery season on the white-tailed deer tag is designed to provide archery opportunity for hunters during and after the rut.  It currently runs from Nov 1 through Dec 19th and is longer than most other archery hunts.  Several years ago a proposal was put forth to make the white-tail tag in unit 63A archery only.  The proposal was very unpopular with hunters that use short-range weapons and muzzleloaders.  The Upper Snake Region will be putting forward new proposals this year to adjust the opportunity offered in unit 63A for white-tail and mule deer hunting.  We encourage you to participate in the process.  A great way to keep up on the season-setting timeline and other fish and game news is to sign up for the Upper Snake Region newsletter.  Call us at 525-7290 to subscribe.
