Because I'll tell you right now its a hell of a lot more than the number of deer I've found with arrows in their ass, which is a grand total of 1! Its a simple numbers game, one hell of a lot more bullets get flung at deer each year then arrows - therefore, based simply on math, one hell of a lot more deer are going to be wounded by bullets than arrows.

Your arguments just don't hold any water. They are considering a draw because the 15% is being met in some areas? Well no kidding, I already said that. I also said that if the 15% is being met then the season should go to draw. What about the areas (which is most areas) that it 15% is not being met? Bottom line, you guys are complaining about the length of the bow season, but can't provide a reason as to why it should be shortened outside of arguing that its not fair.
atta boy!!!!...thats why I said we won't go there...but nope you couldn't stop. We as hunters have enough issues to deal with , without fighting amongst ourselves, right???....let it be... We, I am sure can find some common ground where everyone is relatively happy and the game is at a sustainable level for everyone....and as a hunter in East Central, believe you me, I KNOW what happens when they close a zone, and leave some open....it ain't pretty....doesn't work.....
