Archery hunters being phased out...
bobcat:
That's right. A 270, 30-06, 300 Mag, etc, from 20 years ago was just as good as what we have today. The average person and average rifle back then was good to 300 yards, same as today. I think spike is onto something.

I was referring to the optics, ammo that are made for the rilfes. Technologies had improved those compents which has aided hunters around.

Thats just because archers are just better hunters 8)
spike:
From my somewhat biased view I would love to see a traditional archery season that started earlier or lasted longer than those who shoot those arrow flinging devices with all the wheels and cables and such. I know this would probably never happen and I'm not so sure it would all be good but it sure would make my day.
WDFW Hates ME!!!:
Just what the department wants... Desention, archers think they are getting screwed so they get mad at the rifle hunters and the muzzy hunters when they should be really mad at the department.
I am a muzzy hunter and i hate the department, we have the worst season and the least amount of units to hunt so we cram a ton f people into a few units, the department says the success is to great for muzzy but what they don't understand is if you spread out the hunters you would reduce the harvest.
We all need to stick together and stop fighting amongst the users to keep our opportunities.
