The Wildlife Commission adopted the new 5-year season structure at its September 10, 2009 meeting.
 
Why do we have a 5-yr structure?

The Wildlife Commission approves big game season structures in five-year blocks to guide the development of annual hunting regulations. The Commission provides this guidance for a number of reasons.

For wildlife managers, multi-year season structures allow for some consistency in the application of wildlife management practices and the opportunity to assess their effectiveness. Multi-year season structures also allow hunters the opportunity to bid for vacation, plan hunts, and arrange schedules; for landowners, to plan for seasons and hunter opportunities consistent with their other land use plans; and, for service providers, business plans can be implemented with some degree of expectation of the outer parameters of hunting seasons for the pre-determined time period.
