Nice job Scott.

From the way I read his proposal, every four days through October, guns will be blaring in Delaware. That makes for a really bad bow season. And I think you are right, the biggest problem is access. I tried for a few years to get permission to hunt private land, but it seemed everything was already being hunted by someone else, and the landowner wanted to limit the number of hunters on his ground. That's nice for the guys who hunt there, but if they don't take enough does, it's bad for everyone else.

I've had so many bad experiences with public land I will not even consider it, so I just wrote Delaware off as "unhuntable" for the time being. Now, with guns popping every weekend, which is when most bowhunters get out anyway, I KNOW it's not worth it to hunt Delaware. But I guess it's great for the gun hunters.
