Those were the dates for the old West Zone since the onset of 60-day seasons (19 years), so they don't go that far back. But the second Saturday in November opening date has been the most common opening date since 1930 with the first Saturday a close second. We've generally only opened later when the season dates were 45 days or less. Until 2002, we never went later than Jan. 20.

When we split the old West Zone into a Coastal Zone and a West Zone it was the WEST ZONE that saw some changes, NOT the Coastal Zone. NOTHING changed for hunters in the Coastal Zone except the name of their zone. So the Coastal Zone ain't nothing new regulations-wise.
