Before making a snap decision archers should consider that tag allocation is based heavily on the number of tags purchased by each user group. If your an archer and wanna try the ML season with archery gear for a year or two, don't be surprised when you open the regs in a couple years and find that your chances of being drawn for an archery permit have been greatly reduced.
This is only part of the equation. It is also based on user group success. If muzzleloaders were not so efficient at killing their quota of the resource then they would have more days and units to hunt. If anything allowing someone to use archery equipment during ML season only helps muzzleloaders. You are increasing the user group size and decreasing the efficiency of the weapon choice statistically. That equates to more days, more units and more quota.
I vote no on the original post. I'm an archer and will only put in for archery special permits and seasons. The multi season permit is the problem. It hurts all user groups.
