I see no negatives to lighted nocks, they are only going to help hunters find arrows to help retrieve game? Why do people not want them  :dunno:

There is a thread on here a few pages back that is over 50 pages long, you can see both sides of the argument and every where in between.

To all those running around saying that it was a done deal for the last 2 weeks I ask "what happened to the done deal?"  I guess that advanced hunters "don't" get all the correct info in advance.

In all reality after the governors guidance for any rule changes this one should have never even been considered and was just a big waste of money.  Like it has been said if you want to see your nock use the glow stick lighted nock it is legal


Unfortunately this is far from dead.  At least we got some good elk hunting news.

I think the hunting with a bow during ML got shot down also, in may multi season letter is stated you can only hunt with a ML during ML season but with any legal weapon during rifle. Interesting...

I noticed that too but I don't think it means anything.

Why would anyone care about illuminated nocks? Not a big deal to me.  Been doing fine without them.

Just goes to show that repeating something again and again as being truth doesn't necessarily make it truth.

Isn't that the definition for insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?  :chuckle:

Too bad to see it went down IMHO. Maybe next year.

Personally I think we should have illuminated nocks and expandibles!  :stirthepot:

I think it has to do with weapon restricted areas. Otherwise those areas would be closed by default during regular season.

I bet they would have approved the lighted nocks if you had to buy a special tag to use them. (I didn't say that did I?)  :bash:

Pay attention to the part about electronics and keeping with the tradition.......

Glad to see it, those that will take up the argument for them AGAIN......take note of the fact that if/when you do get them, it will be at a price.
  i dont think there is much traditional with archery hunting now anyway.
