Since you admit that you are not much of a bowhunter, I will try to explain why most are against it. In spite of the fact you choose to insult bowhunters with masked profanity ( a rules violation by the way - a family site with many minors ).

First of all, while I consider my self a bowhunter, I equally enjoy all 3 big game southern zone seasons and hunt them all. Use an inline for both reg and the mz season - as effective as most slug guns.

Success in bowhunting - especially higher pressured land - is greatly enhanced by being able to hunt a relitively undisturbed herd.
We are allowed to hunt with bows in the regular season, but unless you have a large parcel of private, controlled access land, your chances of connecting are slim at best. An early mz season in the southern zone would soon resemble the pressure encountered in reg season and effectively shut down successful bowhunting for several weeks.

That is the reason most bowhunters resist putting a rifle(modern mz) season in the current bowseason. Unless a legitimate reason for herd management was to develop, I hope the seasons I enjoy remain seperate.
