Good Post Mark,

But you would have saved a lot of typing if you would've said:

I don't like bowhunters because they have what us firearm hunters do not have, including season/regs. So if us rifle hunters can't have at least the same then why should bow be able to?

The unitization of resident bow permits will not lengthen or liberalize your rifle season. Every one of your responses(except for the last one) responded with the same type of response, if rifle hunters can'tdo it, then why should rifle hunters. The same implementation of seasons (as you want) for same species to be the same is not always the way to go. If you feel your rifle season system is broke, then do something about it, but don't go about trying to break the system for the bowhunters anymore than it is. You have a lot of good points on why the rifle season should be different. But yet that is a different issue. You make an arguement that Bowhunters should be unitized because you feel rifle hunters don't good a season... Huh??? Doesn't sound like a rational arguement.

Like the saying goes, "Just because the classmate as school has a better car than you doesn't mean it's "okay" to key it". That speaks volumes in your post. Not often do I read an "Elitest" attitude from a rifle hunter. But boy have I now! Just my .02
