Mechanicals are awesome.... they make even a poor shot very very lethal...
If true that means archery harvest increases, which means archery opportunity decreases.

All harvest decrease every year no matter what season or which animal you hunt.... Most if not all hunters aren't shooting "Just Shooter" so to speak they aren't managing the population .... If its brow down... If its legal they shoot it... Unless your hunting some outfitter land and on a guided hunt your gonna kill something if an when you have the opportunity especailly if its down to crunch time

He's talking about wdfw shortening archery season because on increased harvest numbers.

I see now what he means but I hunt whidbey there's Deer everywhere.... It will make you hunt harder if the season were to shorten...

I think a bad shot with a fixed blade is just as lethal as a bad shot with a mechanical. Maybe even more so. So I really don't think that would affect seasons.
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.

What a silly thing to say.  We're talking about the entire state of Washington not just the San Juans.

Secondly, it's not about "hunting hard" necessarily, it's about having a wide window of opportunity which most people appreciate.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Catching up with this thread...  Lori is flat out wrong.  You can't interpret that WAC as a stand alone.  That said, I am also not  surprised that they don't know the rules.  The adopt out of influence rather than sound logic.

More technology will lead to shorten seasons.  You can bet on that!
