Game Commission publication says 40% of Bucks have been killed by archers before rifle season. About time we let the rifle hunters have first go.

Didn’t say anything about the Does.. you boys keep pounding them and there is soon to be a revolt.

And keep beetching about how those who own the land are messing up your hunt. While your preferential treatment removes 40% of the what is available to the rifle hunters.
And you have a 2 month??? season to hit the right day(s).

Correction: 36 % of the Buck kill....Archery Bucks...59,550.Total Buck Kill....163,240. For 36%...

This a major increase since the original archery season was implemented based on the argument getting a Deer with a recurve was very difficult. Which it was. Now that 61% of the archery kill is with crossbows...It is no longer your Granddad's difficult short archery hunt..
