I pressed you on the topic of how letting gun hunters in your bow season stopped your tradition and way of hunting and you never answered it. You will not because you don't have a leg to stand on. Period.
Kybuck, I know you want play games and keep this going. But I am sorry, as I said previously, I can't break this down any more simplier, than I have. If you really can't understand it with all I said, patiently showing you the beginnings of bow seasons, thier reasons for it, and why its such a long season, then I am not sure anyone can. I am not calling you an idiot, I am just saying I can't see how any reasonable honest person could not understand. But you keep telling me you don't. So I am not sure else what to tell you.
Again, once more, because I am a nice guy, the bow season started by tradition of archery, the difficulty in aquireing the necessary skill to harvest an animal, with generious seasons due to that difficulty. (look up Roy Case Bow season in WI) When you put a gun stock with the same trigger and laser/scope and make it so the weapon is preloaded you have taken away 80% of that difficulty us archers face. If you disagree and say its twice as hard using a modern X-bow than a gun, then thats your perogative. I can't change that.

You still will not answer why having xbow hunters in the woods does anything to stop your bow hunting tradition. You will not because you don't have a leg to stand on. Period.
I pressed other guys on this topic and it all comes down to them not wanting a bunch of "scum gun hunters" running out and grabbing a xbow then flooding the woods. I know 100 percent this is why you don't want them. Its an elitist mentality that you have domain over the sport. That showed clearly when you compared homosexuals to xbow hunters that affects society like a disease.
There will come a day when your beloved sport of bow hunting will be threatened like trapping was. There are some well funded groups working on it as we speak. Wouldnt you rather have a fellow hunter stand with you in greater numbers to help you fight them?
