Doesn't matter how much harder it is Jeff and you know this. Majority of bow hunters are NOT out killing deer in December/January so why do bow hunters NEED 100 days to bowhunt?

And you still can't (or won't) answer this question. If every gun hunter went out and bought a bow and went trudging through the woods, that we would not see the same problem as Paul pointed out? It is NOT an equipment issue as much as it is a PEOPLE issue.

If you are that concerned with the rut, than why would you not support banning ALL hunting during that time frame? I wholeheartedly think it would be a good thing to ban all hunting in November so deer could do their thing, but I know the vast majority of deer hunters would object (especially bow hunters) so it is moot at this point.

Also, John was right, it didn't matter how this whole discussion was phrased, it still turns into a gun vs bow debate.
