Do you feel the same about telling that Vet that can't use a bow or a crossbow that he can't use a rifle during bow season? Where do you draw the line, and why?
Quite a few pages back I answered this question for Big Duane. I would not be opposed to one long hunting season for all weapons. Of course bag limits would have to be adjusted and I am sure some other things would have to be worked out but I don't see a problem with that type of hunting season. It is my belief that this would alleviate some, maybe most,of the crowding on public lands that you speak of.
Everyone makes some good points and these discussions are good in that, hopefully, they spur thought. I don't claim to have all, or any, of the answers, but, with hunter numbers declining everywhere, I am more worried about hunting in general than whether or not I have a season all to myself.
