So I see it this way,if muzzleloader hunters and rifle hunters don't have to SHARE the same season THAN WHY should us bowhunters have to share a season with arrowgun hunters???
Share...hmmm
Well for one it's not "yours". You don't own the deer or the sole right to them. The bow hunter has by far the longest season and all you hear is crying that someone is taking everything from them. We have bow season for 4 1/2 straight month here so I guess I have to "share" with everyone. I know some that even complain when youth gun season comes in because they have to be inconvenienced again. Would it make you happier if they just split the season equal and give everyone one month? Or how about just stop all other forms of hunting other than bowhunting...only this will make some happy.
