Does anyone know where to find a link to next years hunting season? I have googled it but can only find this past years season. I am needing to fill out my vacation days for the remainder of the year and need to know the dates rifle and muzzeloading season begin and end.

This is way too early for the dates to be finalized. Doubt you will find that information anywhere.
The legislatures are still in session, so the tentative dates might not have even been set.

If it works like normal, rifle season will open the Saturday prior to Thanksgiving and run about 13 days. Then primitive will open for 14 days. Then, rifle will open back up and stay open until the final primitive which is the last 13 or 14 days of January. Haven't seen any proposed public notices so no telling if they will have that early doe only primitive again this year or not.

For as long as I can remember (going back to when I was like 13 or so...nearly 30 years) modern gun season opened the Saturday prior to Thanksgiving, I only took up muzzleloading 15-18 years ago or so and it has always been December 2-15...ALWAYS. (there might be an exception or two but for the most part that's it Dec 2-15)

This would be the dates if they follow the well established patterns of the last few decades. Archery starts on Oct 1st, Modern Guns with dogs the Sat before Thanksgiving and always has run through Dec 1st followed by 14 days of Primitive weapons with a week of no dogs still hunting then Modern with dogs through the date in mid January that numerically precedes the start date in November for modern guns. Other than the youth and early adult doe only primitive weapons and now the late season primitive weapons/youth extended season the dates have been standard practice for decades now. So my guesses for the 2012-2013 deer season is as follows for zones 2 and 3 I guess. Anyway for the zones that are not the special late start/end zone.
Archery 10-01-12 through 11-16-12 Technically 10-01-12 through 01-31-13
Youth Modern Weapons 11-03-12 through 11-16-12
Early Primitive Adults 16+ Doe only 11-05-12 through 11-16-12
Modern Guns with Dogs 11-17-12 through 12-01-12
Primitive Weapons 12-02-12 through 12-15-12
Modern Guns Still Hunt (No Dogs) 12-16-12 through 12-22-12
Modern Guns with Dogs 12-23-12 through 01-16-13
Primitive Weapons adult Modern weapons youth 01-17-13 through 01-31-13

"Early Primitive Adults 16+ Doe only 11-05-12 through 11-16-12"
I don't remember that for 11-12. Is that new?

Go to page 3 of this PDF and look at the third line of the provisions for management zone 3.
