Did fur season used to open a week or two earlier than it does now?

Yes, When I first started hunting fur it was always in the middle of the month. Now, everyone gets a crack in the woods before we can get out to chase boogered up animals.  :(

When I was a kid it started the first week of November.
Winters can set in quick in my parts, I like it the way it is.

My pick would be mid November...more time for the furs to prime up...more time for me to get my deer tags filled.
