[QUOTE="7stw, post: 2664053, member: 18402"] I'm going to respectfully disagree with you both. Rifle season is plenty long enough already (I primarily gun hunt) with the openness of the terrain in a large part of the state if it where longer your harvest numbers would be way higher. And tran Arkansas's season is less than a month long. Used to be 15 days. Their population numbers are way higher than oklahomas and those states with liberal season dates are encouraging large harvests. Oklahoma doesn't have the deer density of those states so we couldn't support the additional length of the season. Furthermore the trophy quality and age structure are better in Oklahoma. And aviator if we want trophy deer consistently our buck to doe ratio needs to be kept in check. The state needs to do something to encourage more doe harvests. Perhaps a doe only rifle season in early to mid October before the rut and when yearling size is easily discern able from the does. Just my observations. Those southeastern states with long gun seasons love out of state hunters and have lots of acres of public land available for our enjoyment (exception Texas ) and there's also western states that have otc /general areas for both whitetail and mulies and agin millions of acres of public land for our enjoyment. If nine days isn't enough time to get out and enjoy our states rifle season. Sent from NSA wire tapped device. [/QUOTE]
