2020 Opening day for rifle

[Blitz]

The first saturday is on the 7th of November. When do you think they would open the season up? That Sunday or perhaps October 31st which is a saturday.

7th just because

I would think Oct 31st. It is usually the first weekend closest to the 1st correct?

We are trying to coordinate our 2020 calendar so this is kinda vital. lol

I talked with TPWD

They said archery season always lasts for 35 days then general (rifle) season opens.

So November 7th

It's real easy. General gun opener is always the 1st Sat in November always. Archery opener is always 5 Sat before that.

That's basically what the guy told me on the phone. He said 35 days for archery. So the math is always 5 weeks afterwards which makes sense. =)

1st Saturday in November.
I don't think they'll make an exception for you.....

As a general rule archery season opens on the Saturday closest to Oct 1. General season opens 5 weeks after that.
