Wrong again ! I was out all day except for a lunch break and I didn't even get wet. It was an interesting day watching the birds at the feeder but the only deer I say was a y buck
It did where I was.
What did it do where you were?
Sitting on your back porch negates your experience from the discussion.
We all know what you are cleverly alluding to.

You may want to rewrite your post. If you were out hunting all day and watching a feeder you might just run into a problem with the law
When deer learn to fly I'll worry about being cited for baiting. Until then watching the birds adds a lot of pleasure to my days in the woods.

It rained heavy at times where I was hunting but they do make rain gear and umbrellas.

BTW 5 C is 44% forested and 2B is 57% forested ,so to claim most deer are harvested in safety zones during archery is ridiculous.

Wow.... scattered in amongst all those trees, are thousands upon thousands of houses. Come here when the leaves fall and you will see them.
There are many vacant tracts of land where I hunt, but only in select areas can you legally fire a gun. With bows though, we cover it all.

Try again. Only 20% of 2B is rated as developed. Just because you choose to hunt near houses doesn't mean the majority of archers choose to hunt there.

Personally , I would have a hard time enjoying a hunt listening to kids playing ,lawn mowers and stereos.

Define developed. There are loads of forested areas but not very many places where the orange army can go and spread out.
You start putting a 150 yard.... (personally,I like more than that when gun hunting, just so I don't have any confrontations with homeowners, but that's just me) ....circle around every house and see how the available lands shrink.

Developed lands are those with houses , garages, shopping centers and industry.

FYI,77% of 2B is forested or farmland.

Forested can mean anything. There are large areas with houses interspersed within the forested areas. Now put a circle around each one. Then take the forested areas that prohibit gun hunting. The forested areas get whittled away.
Bowhunters get much more access anyway you look at it.

That is true only in your little world where you report rumors as fact and make up your own definition of what forested means. The PGC uses the USFS surveys and the USFS has defined criteria that describes what is considered to be forested and what is developed. Now if you think you know more than the USFS and the PGC, why don't you tell everyone how much of 2B is forested, how much is developed and what percentage of 2B is safety zones.

When one has no clue about a subject it's usually best to keep silent. You obviously have no clue about the makeup of area 2B. You might wantto stop before you embarass yourself further, if thats possible

The data I posted was provided by WCO Dick Bodenhorn. Would you like to call him a liar just like you routinely call me a liar? PGC supporters often have trouble with dealing with reality because their preconceived perceptions are contradicted by the facts. And the facts are that archers do very little to help control the herd while at the same time they cherry pick the bucks and complain about the introduction of X-bows.
