Ohio big game season! ( Whitetail only)

- Gun season Dec 2 - Dec 8 ( and actually its only shotgun from my understanding)

- Archery season Sept 28 - Feb 2

In the Gun season they have 400,000 hunters for 6 days. Muzzy season is 250,000 hunters for 3 days.

In a state where RIFLES have no season. If rifles didn't have a minimum 1 month season here, perhaps we would be have a different discussion. Ohio also need a boost in recruitment. The Ohio model is no way similar to Alberta

Is that what we want here?
We were discussing you questioning myself stating the success rate of vertical bows vs. crossbows being near identical... Again Potty, Ohio's archery season allows both, same period of time as you state above and there is near no difference in success rate per weapon...

Limiting any season would certainly hurt some who chose a particular weapon, no argument there.... So those who chose the crossbow I am certain feel this way in Alberta's current system..

As our population ages, time becomes limited, some would benefit with adding these crossbows to the existing archery season...

Done with this one, best of luck Potty on your season.
