Ooh ok I didnt know modern tags could hunt archery, thats kinda pointless. Oh well less people out n about durring my season.

There are better tags for modern than there are for archery sometimes. For instance I liked and drew the alta modern tag years ago, but wanted to hunt with my bow.   Strap on some hunter orange and go get it done.  For years I hunted modern with a bow.  Now I spend money and get a multi season tag, hunt archery and apply for modern.   Its all about understanding the regs and mixing it up for different fun.  ( hunting the mountain during a different season.)
plus I think there are some highhunts that are available for modern that aren't for archery.

And i will add to what Bone said, if you are a Blacktail hunter there are some great bucks in firearm restriction areas and the timing of the rifle seasons are a great time to hunt those deer... :twocents:
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

I have chosen to do just that this year. Bought a modern tag with intentions of hunting with my bow. I believe that the late modern season is the best season to hunt the rut.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

That is exactly my plan for Muzzy Elk :)

before last year the muzzy elk units I like to go to have been relatively sparse of hunters.  Last year (first year to allow bows in muzzy), the units were packed--people at every gate, never seen so many in those places.  More than during modern.

This will be the first time trying this approach.
