They are out. Lots of interesting new opportunities it seems.

I see they are finally increasing tags for antelope in 39. way overdue IMO, you can't swat a fly without smacking a goat.

41 bull tag is intriguing . been seeing lots last couple years.
also love the elimination of general spike in smoky mtn zones. waaaaay overdue. IMO the spike hunt was a foolish move from the very start.very happy to see they finally rectified it.

38 antelope will add more opportunity as well

Weiser river zone elk will be an interesting experiment

yeah, 38 doesn't have much going on but it is getting quite a few goats and I have seen a few decent sized bucks.

never been in weiser zone , so ,have no opinion to offer.

limits being taken off wolves in some areas is nice to see.don't know if it will make much impact but can't hurt.

I can't believe they're extending the wolf seasons...poor woof

 

[kidoggy]

yeah, I'm so broken up over it, I doan know what I'll do.

I wish they'd leave snake river zone alone. I'm ok if they change it to aug 15 to sep 15 but those later dates would change up the hunt a lot IMO. it keeps a lot more people out of other close by zones. with a latter date I have a filling those other zones will be harder impacted.
