01 / Season structure
When and how.
Jul 18, 2026 to Jul 31, 2026
Confirm tag availability, current regulations, boundaries, legal methods, ammunition rules, closures, and access before you act. The agency source and your issued tag control.
02 / Sportsman’s Illustrated notes
What to solve before opening day.
A hunt boundary does not establish legal access. Confirm ownership, entry, closures, road conditions, and property-specific rules with the current land manager.
Confirm the exact unit dates and current bait, dog, electronic-call, motorized-access, and grizzly-bear rules before hunting.
More moving parts, usually because the draw, timing, or season structure requires earlier decisions.
