Unfortunately (for us Muzzly-loaders),..... the proposal passed. This should drastically reduce the odds of harvesting a cow fer the 10 lucky folks who get drawn fer a ML cow tag.

Not likely, check the average success rates for all the local units in that area for bowhunters. They may take a few cows but, the only affect likely to be noticed will be that the elk are more alert at the start of muzzleloader season because people have already been hunting them. The total archery harvest numbers are really pretty negligible. I hunt muzzleloader in Bumping and I don't have a problem sharing the woods. PS: Spellcheck is a wonderful tool.
