Based on the current math, an archer has twice the time to hunt, and shoots about 5.6 times fewer animals than a rifle hunter. So lets take 4 weeks, or half the season, away from archer hunters, which in theory should mean they will then take 11.2 times few animals than rifle hunters, but well give them 11.2 times the amount of tags in order to make up for reduced harvest. That way, everyone will hunt the same amount of time, the harvest numbers will stay the same, and the tags will be proportioned accordingly.

It just doesn't work.

No where did I say to shorten bow season if the amount of tags are right for the wmu who. Cares how long the season goes give the other weapons as long you are still taking a fixed amount of deer out of that wmu
