Until she says come home or I light the shop on fire. Usually around 20-30 days.

I've gone 9 seasons for archery, all DIY Public land...each year has been just 5 or 5.5 days to hunt due to drive time and family/work commitments. I think my success has come from knowing I only have 5 days to get it done...I'm usually itching to see the wife and kids after a week anyway...

I do 3 to 5 days archery elk
I wish I had more free time
I always went beginning of the season I think I’m gonna switch them around I’m going to go end of the season

Usually 12-14 days. This year 61 or whatever it takes. Next year, who knows. Going to try to hunt 2 states.

The correct answer is as many as I can-

Archery about 14 days
Late season cow elk rifle-5 days
Helping friends with their rifle tags 2-6 days

First year is this year and have 10 days planned.

I envision using that week of vacay I currently use for rifle opener on UP being converted to additional elk time.

I get out a ton for whitetails in bow season so repurposing that one week of rifle isn’t a big deal.

Thanks for all the replies and polling.

There is some consideration by the CPW to 'split' the archery season into two - 2 week seasons.

Not sure if it will happen, but based on the small sampling of this poll, many dont hunt longer than 2 weeks.

Hopefully 10 days this year!

Usually go for 15 days. Day 1 and 15 are travel days, so 13 hunting with an afternoon off in the middle to clean up and resupply.

Not nearly enough. Work has a way of taking me out of Colorado every September. Hurricanes don't give a damn about my personal interests. Probably 5-7 if I'm lucky.

26 days for me in 2018

Planning to elk hunt 15-20 days in 2019. Gonna hit hard in September.

Been hunting elk 3 years now and the first year hunted 9 days and shot a spike with a rifle. The second year 17 days and missed a raghorn with a bow. Last year 12 days and shot another spike with the bow.

Last year was amazing had 33 days between archery and rifle, new job this year I’ll have 4 days at the beginning of archery 3 in the middle and then the last 3 plus the first 4 days of first rifle. In 4 more years I’ll be back up over 30 days if all goes well

10 days in a row

Would that be a separate license for each 2 week season? For example, 9/1-9/14 and 9/15-9/30. What are they trying to achieve with the potential change?
