The opening day of rifle deer season moves from the Monday after Thanksgiving to the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Those who supported the change believe it will entice more people to hunt. It will help hunters who can't get the first Monday after Thanksgiving off from work or school. Even though tradition is to have it the Monday after Thanksgiving. Rifle deer season has started on the Monday after Thanksgiving since 1963. The change takes effect this year. The season will open on November 30, 2019.
The board gave preliminary approval to a change members believe will simplify the fluorescent orange guidelines for a select number of seasons. This proposal would eliminate the requirement to wear fluorescent orange at any time while archery hunting for deer or bear. This would eliminate the overlap periods when archery hunters are required to wear varying amounts of fluorescent orange while moving or post orange material while in a fixed position. The change would also eliminate the requirement for fall turkey hunters to wear fluorescent orange material.
All other seasons’ fluorescent orange requirements would remain the same. This measure will have a final vote at the board’s April meeting. Any changes would be put in place for the 2019-20 license year, beginning July 1. This change is NOT FINAL.

With all the changes that have been made or are currently being voted on, the next thing that will be brought up is hunting on Sundays. With the new law, you hunt for one day then can't the next. It doesn't make a lot of sense. I guess they didn't think it through.
