Restrict Archery and ML seasons to 9 days.
« on: September 16, 2014, 07:31:38 AM »
Yea this is gonna get a lot of flak and I'm probably gonna be called all kinds of things but I seriously believe that they should restrict the archery and Ml seasons to the same amount of time they allow for Modern.
If 9 days is good enough for modern deer season then it is good enough for Archery and ML.  The heck with this crap of the entire month then another season for late without having to draw special tags......

Once bows can shoot hundreds of yards with optics and muzzies can use scopes and shoot hundreds of yards then we can change it.

Coarse then we dont need 3 seasons. Soooooo lets just keep it how it is.  ;)

You must have never bow hunted? Do you realise how many stalks get blown trying to get to a good bow shooting distance?

You only have this kind of discussion in a "choose your weapon" state.  Most states the archery season is 3+ months long.  Nary a whisper of envy from the modern folks, because they can hunt with a bow if they want to.

Modern firearm has great opportunity; you start off with a high hunt in September, follow that with the general season and then you have late hunts for blacktails and whitetails. What's not to like or equitable about opportunity? That is nearly a month spread out through out the fall to hunt deer without drawing a special permit.

I think you're mainly talking about the mule deer season and for that, the muzzleloader season is also 9 days. That's the early season, there is no late season, except for a couple units which are mostly private land.

We could've easily killed 9 different bulls this year with a gun before finally getting an arrow in one.    :twocents:

That idea has to be grounds for at least a 1 week ban?

Apply for a multi season deer tag, nobody is denied, it seems.  Then you get four months of hunting.
