Are any of you out there aware of pending legislation that will create a multiple season big game permit?

HB 1211 and SB 5225 will create just that. A multiple season big game tag. The price will be $150.

It will allow you to hunt archery, rifle & muzzleloader. You are still limited to one animal. You may not harvest multiple deer or elk.

There was no one testifying against the bills. It looks like it is a done deal.

I have mixed feelings about this. I will most likely not elect for this option myself.

I sure hope that untrained rifle hunters don't pick up a bow & start flinging arrows & vice versa. They did something similar in New Mexico a number of years back & it was not good for either the animals or the hunters.
