I personally would be pretty pissed if my (or any county for that matter) was designated a "bow only" county. I feel it can only be detrimental to hunting as a whole. It would only further divide us as hunters and bolster the elitism that runs rampant through the bow hunting community as it is. We have this in Illinois, there are a few counties (Cook for one) that gun hunting is not allowed and I think it's pure crap!

On the other side of the coin. If I ever paid for a hunt you can bet I would never sign up with an outfitter who didn't allow bow hunting. There are those who believe it is not a humane nor efficient form of weapon.....they can keep their business. It's folks who try to divide hunters with silly and poorly researched rules that will ruin this sport for everyone.
