So what was the reason they moved it to Deer Archery season? I believe the main reason was if your Deer hunting and a Bear comes by you can shoot it. If they leave it up to the Hunter to police themselves they are asking for trouble. Something should be put in the Digest. Maybe ban Deer Scent for that week????
