Archery specific draws

[BootScoot]

Does anybody have any inclination as to whether or not the 2017 regs might have some archery specific draws / seasons? Thanks

I hope so

That would be nice... but not sure it will happen. Archery still offers a longer season and more access to the same species in certain cases (cow and bull elk).

I agree to an extent. But why not have a specific archery draw where a special license is required for the bows only season? Most people that draw these special licenses are gun hunters and have no interest in bow hunting anyway. Similarly, I don't have any interest in the rifle season so why not split the tags so that hunters can apply to pull a tag in the season of their preference? it just doesn't seem optimal IMO

It's going to come down to...choose your tool for a draw tag. No more well if I don't get it with the bow I'll use the gun. One or the other.

Won't be able to enter both draw pools.
