-open the early archery season on October 1st, ending on the Friday prior to the beginning of the regular firearms season.
This looks to me as if we would not lose that week of bowhunting. It says ending on the Friday prior to the regular firearms season. If the firearms season opens on Saturday then the bow season should end the day before. At least thats how I read it. I am more concerned with the youth hunt 1 weekend before the gun season. I agree that greedy adults will use this as a chance to just hunt earlier and tow their kids along for show. The youth hunt should be in early to mid October, or even in mid to late September.
