Lanse; my only concern about this,is the total harvest in buck kills this is going to bring.You know as well as I do,since the reduction in the herd. We have for the last couple years,have been getting a growing number of complaints from the firearm deer hunters about the archery hunters season is to long,that archery hunters are taken out the buck before they breed and there is much fewer for the firearm hunters when their time comes. Now with 40 thousand more(and growing) archery hunters this year.
Accomplished vertical archers switching to crossbows. How can anyone say,there will not be an increase in the kill and that's the main point. The slightest increase in buck kills,is going to have the firearm hunters in a rage. So what happens next? A shorter gun season. A shorter archery season. Do we take out the early muzzle loader and rifle season. Cut down on the doe tags? Something will have to change and the firearm hunters will demand it.
