2014 was the year of big changes in sage grouse regulations. That's when it started closing 9/30 rather than 11/1. In '14 and '15 there was a large part of the state that had no season but that's open back up this year. While technically accurate, my comment of years ago was misleading as it inferred longer than a couple of years. 2 years seems like longer when you start getting CRS syndrome.
