this statement is absolute Bull crap! It also show you how biased and uneducated you truly are. How come in Arizona they still kill 400" bulls? How come they don't have spike hunts? How come in Arizona they give out just as many elk tags as Utah with half the elk?

when it takes you just as long to draw an archery tag as it does to draw a rifle tag why would you blow your once in a life time tag on a bow with 30% odds? why would you blow your once in a life time chance at a bull wear you restric yourself to a 40 yard shot? If they got rid of the gay spike hunt you could give our dump loads of archery tags at big bulls. I garantee you would see a lot more people putting in for archery then you do now.

you are against bow guy and your statmenst above prove you are.

you cant get rid of the cow tags because the herds are at carring capacity. By law the herds cant get any larger right now. so you are forced by law to kill some of the cows. simple math if you have a grade school education.

I do disagree with your statements. I personally think they show how little you know about archery as a way to manage hunters opportunity while still maintain quality. To back up my facts all you have to do is look at the Wasatch front as a model of complete and utter success. long seasons! Rut hunts! No winter range or habitat improvements BS! No expo tags! No auction tags! Henry quality bucks and believe it or not it is starting to get Monster bulls as well! You can kill buck/bull cow/doe O Did I say over the counter $35 dollar tags!
Now I believe some where in the middle of no rifle tags and loads of bow tags is a happy medium. A medium where any guy can choose to pick up a bow and hunt more often or pick up a rifle and actually kill what he is hunting. Notice I did not say archery guy or rifle guy. To me a hunter is a hunter plane and simple the weapon he chooses doesn't matter. Face it if we all could hunt with an over the counter rifle tag during the rue we all would.
