i don't mean to sound selfish, i already said that i love to dove and small game hunt, i just don't understand how someone can allow guns and bows at the same time......one it's a safety thing, you aren't required to wear orange during archery, i do but some don't.....i can see it now someone shoots at a dove, hits the guy in the treestand because he didnt have his orange on....
where i hunt , it's quota only....the have 2 , 3-day archery hunts, 1 , 3 day gun hunt,2,3-day muzzy hunts....other than the hog hunts later on you are not allowed to hunt at all......now get this......there is 3 4-day small game hunts, first come first served, no quotas required, that gives the other hunters plenty of time to hunt dove, and other small game...i put in for the quota hunts because of the limited hunting ....believe me like i said i wont be affected by it because i hunt the marsh and dove dont hang out in the marsh, they like the fields and if someone chooses to leave the fields with 5 food plotsand hunt elsewhere so be it, i will adjust....doesn't change the fact that i think it's stupid...it's an accident waiting to happen annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd believe me when i say the community i hunt in has a bunch of poachin' fools, it'll be open season for temptation....i can here them now " hey jr. make sure you bring a slug for me, we can shoot that deerand then stab the deer with an arrow to make it look like i shot it with my bow, man i love dove hunting."....... hate to say it , but it'll happen.......someone getting hurt, it'll happen....me being selfish, i think not....
