They should be promoting it but now they are backpedaling. I bowhunt when I have the time so I'm not trying to single them out. But I did the breakdown on all of the seasons here and it is pretty lopsided in the bowhunters favor. Here is the breakdown: Urban zone : Sept.9- Jan. 31 for a total of 139 days. Almost all of the urban zones are archery only. Regularvarchery season: Oct.1 - Jan. 4 for a total of 96 days. Keep in mind that if you kill a buck in an urban zone that you can still kill a buck with your regular bow license. Firearms season : Nov.15- Nov. 30 for a total of 16 days. Muzzleloader season : Dec. 6- Dec. 21 for a total of 16 days. One buck only. So a bowhunter could possibly hunt 139 days a year and gun hunters could only hunt 32 days a year.
