In nc I think a late primitive weapons season would be good. I don't know that an extended dog/rifle season would be conducive to a healthy deer population. That's not meant as a slight to the guys that hunt with dogs.

The reason for the GA bill is that a lot of the rut in GA (including parts of the mountains) happens in January.

It supposed to allow hunters to hunt the late rut there.

Just yesterday a buddy of mine went coyote hunting and had the biggest buck of his lifetime in the crosshairs. He's hoping his game camera picked him up at least.

Compromise bill on the move. Would add 2 weeks to hunting small game like rabbits and raccoons.

that's nice, but I've been hunting 70 degree weather the whole month of February...not good!....the whole state use to break at dec 1st and close till the week of xmas to new years day.....deer would get back on pattern of moving in the day and deer hunters would kill some good bucks during that time.....small gamers would get 3 weeks of cooler weather to hunt......I miss the good ole days......
