Not refering to zone 248 directly.

Indirectly yes, we have "zones" down here in the states that are designated
as "Bow only" many are within or around city/town limits.

Reason being it is understood that it is a much safer way of maintaining
deer and bear etc. herds in human populated areas using a projectile that
will average a range of impact 30 yards or less.

Example .. A bow hunter in a tree stand 17 feet high shooting down at a deer
standing 20 yards away. The angle of the shot will put the projectile into the
ground at less than 50 yards no question about it.

All the above is about safety first and foremost, herd population and health
is second. This is all fine and correct.
And restricting hunting of these areas for that reason alone is justified.

There is another aspect of the difference hunting with a bow versus hunting
with a gun, a big difference and it relates to herd management as much as
it relates to managing hunters, maybe more so hunters.

What I have not seen yet is designated areas or zones in areas outside of
city limits dedicated to bow hunting only.

Where populations of animals not humans are bordering healthy to fair or fair to poor for example.
