gun season

Firearm hunting window

Gun season is the period when hunters are permitted to use firearms to hunt specific game, typically deer.

It contrasts with archery season or muzzleloader season, which have different dates and weapon restrictions.

Gun season opens next week, so the woods will be crowded.

The timing varies by state and is set by wildlife management agencies.
