Resident Late Muzzleloader hunters are reminded that their season has been extended three days from January 11-13. This season extension was put in place to help mitigate for the Shotgun Season extension that took place during the first weekend period of the Late Muzzleloader season.

Late Muzzleloader deer hunters participating in the season extension will need to have a 2008 hunting license and paid the current 2008 Habitat Fee. All Late Muzzleloader season regulations will apply during the extension. Holders of Late Muzzleloader any-deer licenses may still harvest antlered deer during the extension.

This three-day extension will run concurrent with the beginning of the January Antlerless season in portions of the state.
