Bowhunting in Highland City Limits

That lady has her head up her A$$, you think we are going to put an arrow into your child, come on, obviously she doesn't have a clue what archery hunting entails AND the designated hunting areas aren't going to be in your backyard. I guess you can't expect too much logic to come out of a y fans mouth.

If something has to be done like he said to help prevent accidents and it is for the safety of the community, and they don't have the resources to manage it, then I think they should allow it. Maybe requiring a test to be completed like the extended archery area, just to ensure that people know the specifics of the area.
 
Hopefully the DWR can find a way to effectively select accurate, mature hunters. Urban hunts have been tried before. The Wasatch Front dates were cut largely because archers can't control themselves in an urban setting - even though they are far superior / moral / trustworthy/ethical/environmental than lazy/uncontrolled impure/dark/stupid rifle hunters. This distinction is known by all and cannot be disputed.

Just the same, residents end up seeing things they don't really want to see on the urban archery hunts. If an effective hunter selection system could be made with an appropriate set of rules, it could work. Good luck archery hunters. I hope your abounding ethics don't screw this one up too!!!

I know the original plan was for does only, don't know if that has changed now that it looks like it is really going to happen.

This is where I see a problem. They are appointing Brian Cook at Humphries Archery to hand select who gets to hunt. Hopefully he will be fair and not use it as an opportunity to take all his friends out hunting.

Here is a little more reading about it that I dug up yesterday.

They just need to put all the names who apply in a lottery draw.

LAST EDITED ON Jul-30-13 AT 11:06PM (MST)[p]You called that one right. He he all ready has 12 pre-selected hunters selected to take out 300 does over the next 2 years.
 
Looks like I may need to buddy up with Humphries so I can be a "Certified City Hunter Specialist."

so essential to success of any kind as the
quality of perseverance. It overcomes
almost everything, even nature.

If I'm out hunting I'd much rather be up on the extended hunt instead of trying to whack does in the city!
 
Last I heard the hunter pays, they can keep the meat or donate it. There were going to allow bucks to be hunted to, but the DWR wanted all the horns cut off and turned in to them, so the city did not want to deal with that so it was made doe only.
 
What a screw up by the powers to be(DWR), They could of did archery only classes and charged for them, and then had the grads put in for a doe tag only and could of made money from both. Instead they hand the tags to a single person to run as he see fit. Now I don't know this person ,But it will be to easy for him to pick friends and relatives and leave other hunters out in the cold.
