Anybody have an idea on when they archery hunt might start/end in 2016? Seems like it would either start the 13 or 20th of august but the 13th seem way early. I know everythin is based off the general rifle elk hunt,which is always the first saturday in October. Next year the first saturday in october is the 1st. So does that mean the archery hunt would start the 13th?

I might be wrong but I have always believed that the dates are all set off the rifle deer hunt. With it always ending on the last Sunday in October. So that would start archery on the 20th.

LE archery elk will end second Saturday in September. Each year it creeps up a day, then every seventh year will go back seven days. So for us archers the dates won't improve till 2019. I'm in the same boat. Each year there's several posts saying next year the dates should be better, but they don't have a clue when that 7 day swing actually takes place.

Lang, you are forgetting leap years move the day of the week 2 days on leap year so it doesn't take 7 years. As mentioned above Archery starts on the 3rd Saturday in August so it will be Aug 20th next year. I think there will be some point creep in some of the units for Archery tags. All my friends that would have drawn a bonus tag this year didn't apply this year because next year will have much better dates. I'm guessing many others did the same so I wouldn't be surprised if some archery hunts take 1 point higher to draw next year than they do this year.

Yep the hunt will end on the 16th of Sept. next year. It will be the best dates archers will see for another 7 years.
Thought my buddy would draw with the hopes a bunch were holding out for next years dates. I keep forgetting most people aren't all that tuned into stuff like that the way most of us are.
