Default RE: Finding season casualties

The potential problem I see is the increased harvests resulting in shortened archery seasons due to outcry from exclusive gun hunters. The same hunters that will be flooding the archery woods with their new crossbow. The GC will simply take back the hunting of deer during the rut. In SRA's the harvest increased by something like 40% when crossbows were allowed. This is not archers switching tools, this is a whole new class of hunters entering the season and a factor that cannot be diminished or ignored for long.
