Why would they take this stance? simple, greed.
Bowhunters typically:
- get longer season
- go before gun season, even in the rut
- shoot deer that the gun hunters could have shot if they weren't already shot.
Good answer and saved me the typing. I agree. They hope a deer makes it through archery season, we hope a deer makes it through rifle season and we get a shot next year....quite the circle.
