Archery hunters being phased out...
spike:
Has anyone given any thought to how much more efficient archery equipment has become in recent years? A compound bow from the early 90's is junk compaired to today's arrow flinging devices.Archery seasons are the most liberal because bows are the most primitive.It used to take a ton of skill and practice to get good with a bow now all you need is about a grand and a couple weeks of practice.If we really want to see longer and better seasons, at some point we might need to go back to traditional archery.Just my 2 cents worth.
Ray:
spike, I agree.
bobcat:
That's a good point spike. The latest harvest report (2008) shows archery hunters with a 9.1% success rate on elk, versus a 6.2% success rate for modern firearm elk hunters.

Spike that arugment can also be applied to hunters using rifles and muzzleloaders
spike:
I some what agree but I don't know that most average rifles of today are that much better than most average rifles of 20 years ago.I admit that I know very little about muzzle loaders.I truly believe that an average compound bow of today is 10 times better and easier to shoot than a top of the line bow of 20 years ago
