Whats everybody think about rifles being used in the CWD zones (except Metro) that were typically shotgun only before?

I myself wish they would have left it shotgun only since I hunt public lands and I believe with the price of gas and rifles being allowed we'll see an influx of hunters simply because a lot of hunters just prefer to hunt with rifles. I do have a rifle and grew up hunting in rifle zones so I could use it.
What I find funny is that for forty plus years it hasn't been safe to use rifles and now it is, when theres many more houses in the rural areas.
