They have no idea what it is like trying to hunt deer and elk with a bow while every TDnH is out there camping, shooting rifles, hunting grouse, riding machines, scouting for rifle season, riding horses, etc.
This last weekend was pretty much a joke with the Grouse hunters and the elk are not really doing much rutting yet up north.
Makes for some pretty tough hunting conditions and is part of the reason the success rates differ so much as well.
