The whole idea of letting a select group of people hunt before everyone else bothers me. I can understand a youth day to get the kids involved, but not a 2 week season for crossbow hunters. Also, I am all for a one week rifle season with a week of no gun hunting, then a week of muzzleloader. In any case, less bucks and does need to be taken one way or the other. Seems to me that if antler restrictions are used, within a few years MORE people will buy licenses because there will be more bigger bucks running around. All the guys I hunt with agree they would rather have more bigger bucks with AR's on the little guys than open season on everything with 3 or more inches of antler.
I understand where yer comin' from Doug...but I'm not sure I'd feel the same IF I were wheelchair bound, or honestly physically restricted.... it's the abuse of it that pees me off.
