The month the general firearms season for white-tailed deer opens is set to November. This timing matches deer movement patterns in late fall and fits the regulatory sequence that typically starts with archery season in October, followed by the general firearms season in November, with muzzleloader seasons occurring later. October is generally used for archery, while December and January fall outside the general firearms window. So November is the traditional opening month.
