Calling for moving long range weapons out of the rut is the same as saying no guns during the rut which is the same as saying bowhunting only during the rut. So it is still a bowhunter v. gunhunter debate no matter how it is phrased.
Therefore, it has no chance and only serves to divide.
Bull crap.......... then move the long range weapons out of the rut and include short cased pistols with the crossbow and archery short range weapons........then everyone can have "THEIR" gun, "THEIR" crossbow or "THEIR" bow and have a short ranged weapon season..... no argument on weapon..... it's just a short range weapon season during the rut.
This bow vs gun "argument" carries no water Scrifes......... But it is a convenient imaginary argument that some want to keep alive so they get to hunt their buck as long as they can with a long range weapon.......and we all know it don't take 30+ days of a long range weapon to get the job done, and help the harvest #'s along....... nor does it take a rifle in someone's hand to be considered a gun when a short cased pistol is still a gun......
..........but I know you don't like hearing that....
