I don't think the gun season should be shortened because of the hpr. We already get the shaft every year because we have to hunt in one of the nastiest months of the year. November weather sucks. It seems every year we have to put up with the cold, rain, high wind or some other act of God. Out of the 16 days of gun season we get maybe 8-10 good weather days if we're lucky. The season is short enough already.
