In my view, the big question for fall hunts will be the seasonality of this virus and what we learn between now and September. If we get a second wave in the fall, and we have clear data that shows SD worked in the spring, I can't imagine States not putting the restrictions back in place. No rural communities are going to want to have a whole bunch of disease vectors hitting their little towns. I think its a real gamble on what could happen in the fall, I think the September hunts will mostly be ok, but getting into Nov/Dec??? I also think the more rural areas, like remote communities in AK, will be very sensitive to any potential 2nd wave given their lack of infrastructure.
So, if I were one of the youtube/hunting draw consultant/analyze everything to death tv personalities, my advice would be:
1. Hedge your hunts this fall by leaning towards early season hunts v late season
2. look at how states have responded to the current situation as a clue to how they might respond this fall
3. if its still an option, maybe holdout on your remote AK or out of country hunts where air travel restrictions could really bite you (or get savvy on trip insurance!).
