I talked to a guy last night and he has hunted 6 years in a row and never killed an animal with his bow. Why make it harder than it already is on archery hunters. moose is on draw in a few zones right now because the #'s are down in those zones, the ones that are not down have an archery tag. In my home zone with the spreading of CWD they have taken out the draws all together for everyone. now you want you want to add the draw system to deer in all the zones that really goes against the goal of the fish and wildlife. Every year there are more hunters hangin up there rifles and bows because of the new rules being implied. with less hunters out hunting there is more animals that need to be controled. If we go to a draw system for everything how do we get the harvested #'s where they need to be.

By the way if you want a draw system for archery stick with your antelope and let others be happy with what is done now. this is a draw only...Why?.........because the #'s are down and the F&W think this is the way it needs to be.
