The same reasons the prairie bowhunting season is two months long, all week except sunday in compared to Wed- Sat one month rifle season. They admit that success is low enough bowhunting to warrant the longer season.

Argueably, they could cut off a week or two of the season to combat the apparent over harvest, but instead they look to the draw.
Correct on all accounts . When I saw them give us back the month of September last year here in the 100 zones I knew that would make the success rate rise for the simple reason that it gave bow hunters more time . Give rifle hunters every day hunting opportunities in these same zones and see what happens then .Maybe their success rates would even go up . Just another typical SRD mismanagement .
