i hunt in illinois 1 week a year. that state has 2 4 day slug seasons and 1 5 day muzzleloader season.as do alot of mid western states. there archery opens about same as ours,and goes till mid jan.have you see the tv shows,or hunt magazines. theres the results of low hunting pressure and a balanced herd. and yes,i would much rather have slug guns then rifles. here in wyoming county we have alot of populated rural communitys rifles in my opinion will be dangerous. with a rifle i could easily shoot deer off of neighboring propertys with ease. i personally only hunt with bow,and muzzleloader for the challenge. the reason this is about the economy is,are county is 1 of the heavily hunted southern countys,so there looking at it that every licensed hunter here will have to go buy a rifle!
