I do not want a bunch of idiots tramping through the woods spooking the deer out of normal patterns in prime time bow hunting. I spend too much time patterning the deer during winter and spring to have them spooked from those patterns. Why do gun hunters feel they have to ruin bow season?????????
Wow, So everyone that hunts with a mz is an idiot????
Careful you might wake the sleeping giant (gunhunters) they might start lobbying against bowhunters getting the first crack at all the mature bucks. They might decide we shouldn't get a chance at bucks in the rut before they do, and spend millions of dollars against us. Figure it out there are something like 90% more gun hunters then bow hunters. If your hunting priviate land you don't have to worry. If your hunting public land you already have many people in the woods during "your " bow season.
During the rut you can throw all your patterns away, any way hunt the does.
I don't think there would be a large impact to deer patterns at first, that is until alot more people buy the mz's to take advantage of the extra time.
