I feel your pain. In WV, where I own a farm,they pushed the bow season back 7 daysdue to a youth squirrel hunt. I'm all for the youth hunt...but make it a week earlier rather than push the bow season back. I'm not much of a gun hunter, but I bow hunt every minute I get a chance.

In Ohio, where I live, the bow season opens the last sat in September and runs through the end of January...with about 2 weeks closed for gun season. That's just shy of 4 months of bow season.
