In the '50's as a kid, we had bragging rights if we even spotted a deer in the woods!!! Never sat in a deer tree stand till I started hunting in Virginia.
I believe in a primitive season. More so as a novelty and a way of difficulty! I would love to see my state have one in the late season.
We tend to get in pi$$ing contests on equipment, like long bows vs. compound bows vs. crossbows... Flintlocks vs. perc. vs. inlines... I personally get tired of this line of feldergarb and useless arguments!! I think an open season should start and what you use to hunt with is up to you!!!!!
Remembering that this is all IMHO!!!!!
