silentassassin - why not truly take archery season back to what it was, giving the bulk of what is now archery season back to recurves/longbow and then giving a few weeks to compounds and a few weeks to crossbows ?
Well for one it's not a very effective management tool as it is and it would be even less effective then. I don't have a problem with seperating them by equipment as long as everyone gets equal time. I don't think one group deserves any more time than the others. Again, I prefer we just have a combined season but for those that insist it should be seperate then I say it should in fact be seperate. Have a seperate season for each different weapon and give each group equal time. I personally would hunt all 3 seasons though it would require the purchase of some additional equipment. I would rather see all three seperate seasons than see a group shut out completely.
