Pav...thanks

Guys, the only way to get Bowhunters into Eagle Creek is to hit it head on....you have to put pressure on the politicians, you have to set meetings with those that have a say, and put forth the facts and the expense of using sharpshooters vs Bowhunters....Illinois State Parks utilize bowhunters throught their whole regular archery season, unlike where we use 'em only for a few days in the State parks. Rules can be set within the park and enforced....I had said way back when that the use of bowhunters during the regular seasons would produce the same effect and outcome of using sharpshooters. ****, we had a better out come up here in Beverly Shores than what they would have using sharpshooters..I think we all would rather see a resource such as the deer be managed by those who have cared so much about this resource, Us the hunters ! Pressure from the media, writers and the powers that be is the way to get them in there....find the politicians that are favorable to using bowhunters, hit them with the efficacy of doing so and the cost savings...use examples from this state and other states and our parks....it may not happen over night but constant pressure is what is needed.....****, we should be experienced by now after all we have went through, getting hunters into the State Parks, local towns, etc...use that experience !
