He probably knows, just like a lot of us know, that in the past the regulations have been available just a few days after the April meeting in which they supposedly were just approved and adopted. Those print shops sure work amazingly fast.   :rolleyes:

Why would I be against it when I see the benefits of allowing archery equipment during muzzleloader seasons? I've already stated several times that I see advantages to all hunters in the changing of this rule. The change would allow more flexibility for all hunters and provide options that we now don't have. There's no downside to it as far as I can tell.

I didnt say you were against it. I know your 110% behind it. More flexibility for archers, not all hunters.
Not ML's. You will be interested to read the letter i sent to the Commission on fri. Im gonna let them ruminate on it till monday night, then ill post it on this thread. You archers have really opened up a bad can of worms. Somebody was'nt thinking right when they came up with this. Ce Le Gerre!

Yes, it would provide more flexibility for ALL hunters, if you choose to take advantage of it. If you don't, well then that is your loss. With this change I can now hunt a parcel of private property with my muzzleloader tag. The owner of the property will only allow bow hunting. The unit has a early and a late muzzleloader season. But only has an early archery season. So if I want to hunt during the late season, I need a muzzleloader tag, and I also need to hunt with a bow. That's just one example. There are many more. As I said, there's no downside to the change.

It has been stated before archers didn't lobby for this change, so no need to have a beef with us. Sounds like the WDFW rubbed you the wrong way. And where was the muzzleloader group that organizes and lobbies for allocation at in this fight? Does one even exist?

Well again, tell me, what is the downside for you? Is it just that you have a phobia for people with bows walking around in the woods? Wouldn't you rather someone hunting in your area have a bow instead of a muzzleloader? This way they can shoot no further than about 50 yards, while if they had a muzzleloader they'd be good to 100? If someone chooses to voluntarily limit their range by using a bow, how is that bad for you? I don't get it. It seems like a positive, not a negative.
