RE: FIREARMS ALERT DURING ARCHERY SEASON!
In CT, landowners can rifle hunt starting November 1st, whereas the rest of us gunners wait until the 3rd Wednesday. Prime of the rut...
Hasn't affected the deer or the bowhunting opportunities. I can understand the safety issue, but perhaps the DEC are thinking of mandating archers wear 400 sq inch of orange, or have an orange tag near their blind/tree?
With that said, I've already posted enough on the new NY turkey "youth" hunt", and how I feel about "special hunts" in general.
This one is beyond comprehension...this may actually increase deer herds, as the deer will be in "hide mode" during the "big" gun opener 8 days later...
