More archery only season ? Yes/no
Do you think there should be more archery only seasons ? I would love to go mulie hunting in non farmland lease or private. Looking at the mountains to catches deers migrating down later in the year . I'm noticing that by the end of September most of the archery seasons are finished . Options are limited. Don't you think it would make cents to cut down general seasons that are on draw right now with very little tags , to make a longer archery only season sept1 - mid October . And still have the same draw numbers .

Not a bad idea for muzzle season . The idea is to have less harvest and more hunting to keep are game numbers up . Encourage people to hunt in different ways. The state are a fine example.
P.s grizz season would help that too.
I think I derailed my own thread

Maybe it's just me but I have a hard time taking a Thread seriously when the Thread is full of spelling and grammar mistakes. School isn't what it used to be.
As for extending bow seasons, I'd have to say why? Nothing stopping you from using your bow during the general season, unless as soon as general season opens up you hang up your bow and go running for your rifle.

I think things are fine the way they are, I hunt the entire season with a bow. August 25 to December 7. Lots of opportunity for all types of hunters no matter what tool they choose.

I agree with Lefty.
Of course, I want a grizzly season too.
...but only with a longbow; recurves and compounds are just cheating.

Sorry to hurt your feelings. But yes school does come easier to some of us. So you feel better about yourself now that you make me look like a idiot . I don't need any help with that . You now it's nice if we as outdoorsmen can have conversations on here with out getting judged

Food for Thought
As the major cities expand (Calgary and Edmonton) would it not make sense that the bow zones around the cities expand as well? How long as been since there was an adjustment?

I'm all for more and bigger bowzones. I think the seasons are ok like they are and I shudder to think what might be lost in tinkering with them.

Why are the bow zones near the large city centres ? What's the thinking behind this. I guess it's for the yuppies

Population density, rifle would be dangerous with all the acreages and people.

Exactly.
Even there, it helps to have a good relationship with the surrounding neighbors - I would hate to have an animal expire on someone else's lawn - especially if that person isn't keen on hunting (or they like to feed their "pet" deer, etc.)
