The 2006 regulations will give you a fair idea for next year, but seasons can change each year. We typically develop season recommendations by mid February and ask for public input late Feb-early March. The Commission meeting to set 2007 seasons will be Mar 7-9 this year. The regs book should show up on the website in late Mar with printed regs by mid-late April.
Opening dates for deer are fairly standard: most general mule deer seasons open Oct 10 and close either Oct 24 or 31.
Elk openers are more variable across the state: my front country general rifle season and several others open Oct 15. My back country units have 2 hunts: B tag is Sep 15-30 and Nov 1-18; A tag is Oct 1-31.
It's important to realize that the Commission has final say on seasons, so seasons can change from anything you see recommended or discussed elsewhere.
