Pav,

The vertical bow archery harvest (as a percentage of total harvest) has been stagnant for years. It dropped to 16% in 2015 and quite frankly vertical archery hunters haven't shown any inclination to do what you are suggesting they will. With a full 3 month season, and 6 weeks of that season (more or less) to themselves, the opportunity to step up and assume a larger part of herd management has been (and continues to be) available.

Perhaps you are right in that it will change and if/when it does, maybe the DNR will decide to take a look at the season structure @ that time. But until then, with herd reduction ongoing and firearms hunters paying the bulk of the bills and managing the herd, I can't see why they would change much of anything...
