| I guess I've got it pretty good Pretty well everything in the Yukon opens August 1st and closes October 31. Some caribou areas are open until January 31st if you can bare the cold. August I keep to sheep hunting. |

| September-April: Antelope, deer, pheasants, waterfowl, turkeys.
May-August: SEX (mostly in August, because if your wife gets pregnant in Aug, then the baby comes out in May, which is not a hunting month and the fishing is still generally slow. |

| Well, 300H+H nothing in life is free, anything worth doing is also worth working for. I work non stop during the Summers so that I can have my Hunting. Lucky for me my work keeps me close to some world class trout fishing. I never go no were in the summer, I fly bush alaska, with out a flyrod and some flies. School is important, the more and better education you get, the better your life is going to be. With that comes money and with money, you can more or less do what you want. I don't know what you are studying, I ended up a broken down airplane and helicopter pilot. I push an old single engine around the tundra during the winter and fly a Bell 206 on contract for the summer. Summer hunting, go find a dump that will let you shoot rats. I spent a lot of summers when I was a kid on rat safaris. You learn to really shoot. |

| What do I hunt in the summer... Trout, salmon and targets. I could start hunting big game in Aug. in northern B.C. if I wanted but always wait til Sept. Deer on the Queen Charlotte Islands opens in June. We did a salmon trip there one year in July. brought the rifle along but had soo many complications on that trip that we never got around to hunting. WOW!! alot of deer around. We seen at least 100 a day and we never went looking for them. That was mostly around camp and on the beaches. You are allowed 15 there. |

| Any spare time I have usually goes to fishing...when I'm not fishing for a living. I do make a trip to Montana for vermin on one of two trips home that I get. The wife gets her choise on the other. Last year I was home in early Sept. with seven months of vacation to look forward too. I hunted grouse, deer, and bear in sept, but usually its near fall when I'm back from Alaska. |

| You know, now that I think of it, when it's winter I look forward to fishing, and when it's summer I look forward to hunting. I'm planning to teach English in college, so it's going to be summer vacations and late August hunts for life I guess. Or it least until I get tenure and say: "I'm going on a hunting trip, get the teaching assistant to fill in." someday... PS: Right now I want to go muskie fishing really bad. |

| When I was in college there was a second chance bow season in January. It was the 1st-15th so it worked for me. I think it would be a little cold in MN in January but you could check the surrounding states Game and Fish sites for late seasons. |

| I agree with POP on this,
Prairie Dogs in Montana, and Ground Squirrels in Oregon, from March until July.
Coyote calling is year round here in Oregon.
Why shoot paper targets in the summer when a moving one is so much more fun!! |
