Default RE: question for all you bowhunters

You know what made me laugh is when they changed the proposal to keep bowhunting open during that week for antlerless only. Saying safety won't be a concern??ML's will have to first identify their target to make sure it's a doe before taking a shot so it shouldn't be a problem. LMAO ok Einstein. My arse isnt' going to roaming through the woods in full camo during that week. I'm sitting in a ground blind 200 yards from a MLer and he's supposed to be able to pick me out that easily where they think there is NO reason to worry about safety?Sorry.
Not to mention the poaching potential. I know myself and most everyone here would abide by the rules of the game. But you mean to tell me that if a 170" buck is standing 15 yards away broadside on the last day of early ML/bow season (antlerless only) that someone won't be letting an arrow fly?

I hate the whole concept of everything about the proposal and I'm still trying to figure out what the actual purpose of it is. MLers can use their weapon of choice during shotgun and late ML season. That's about 5 weeks which is currently more than bowseason (i think). What's the purpose of the early ML other than to whack a bunch of does before the rut and pressure all the mature bucks and drive them nocturnal?
