silentassassin - seasons are set up by how much "impact" they have on the herd while at the same time maximizing the ammount of enjoyment of the hunters.

Trad hunters are not many in numbers comparatively speaking, so they would require the largest chunk of archery season plus their stats are low too. Compounds and crossbows would have large following and their accuracy/succcess rate much greater, thus they each would need a much smaller part of the pie.

Compounders hate that concept but its exaclty what some are asking for - seperate archery weapons seaons based on # of people that use the given weapons and how successful it makes the archer - aren't they ?
