dont start with the "lets just add guns to bow season" argument. The wildlife agencies set gun seasons and lengths to manage the herd(they do 90% of the work). A 3 month gun season would decimate the herd the first year.
What BillyBob uses on the next 40 has no bearing on my hunt as long as he's following the law and bag limits.
I belive its Primos that has an arm rest to use when shooting a compound, add that to the above bow...no different than a crossbow
imo
I am not asking if you carry a bow in gun season. We almost all do that.
They can still manage the herds with season of choice. Its called tags.
Its either about tradition of bowhunting, or its about animal management. DNR should have no part in making a market for various hunting weapons. That is not thier charter.
Many places have weapon of choice. And they do fine by managing with tag numbers. I am sure you don't want that. Look up the tradition of bowhunting seasons that started by Roy Case and others in Wi. There was a reason, thier club restricted crossbows.
