shouldnt everyone be allowed to hunt deer in the warm month and during the first rut without having to learn how to hunt with a particular weapon? if you want to hunt warm weather and during the rut,you must learn how to shoot a bow? sounds prejudice and actually discriminating to other hunters. warm weather rut hunting is not a private atleast shouldnt be a private club just for bow hunters. we all pay for a license and should be able to hunt the rut and warm weather with a weapon of choice. how about we switch gun season to october and archery to november and dec? you still got the second rut to hunt and will be more challenging to the professional rack hunters. cry a river they would. i am all for crossbow early season. sign me up and i will see you all in the woods early deer season.
