I don't know about other states but here in Wisconsin I personally feel the bowhunters get a huge advantage over the gun hunters such as...
A three month season vs. a one week season.
Season is open during the rut for bowhunters
Don't get me wrong. I don't hate bowhunting. I bowhunted one year and fell out of a tree and wrecked my ankle. Also, I don't have the patience to sit there for hours being eaten by mosquitos. (You don't have those in the cold gun season). I ended up shooting target archery for 20+ years (two state championships) but these seasons were set many years ago when people hunted with recurve bows and the odds against getting a deer were much higher. With compound bows, release aides, magnifying sights etc. the odds are much better. So....
Why do bowhunters need these long seasons anymore? I just wished the gun hunters were considered more. The biggest bucks taken in Wisconsin these years are usually with the bow during the rut. What do you guys think about this? Am I full of crap?
