RE: Elitist attitude
I can understand wanting that late season as VA's statewidebow season is usually hot and miserable as well(startsOct.6-7 usually). I do get a late season(Dec. 1 -Jan.)in two countiesand we share most ofit with bp hunters as well so I can understand the "scooter" analogy but I still bowhunt a lot during that period. In the past couple of seasons VA has been adding some lates seasons for antlerless only that run into February and in some "Urban Archery Areas" into March.
The technology is definitely taking leaps and bounds for all bows (but compounds & xbows especially) so that could be a slippery slope, I guess only time will tell.
