Looking at things, he could draw most the early rifle hunts. Lots of options out there. 10, 3C, 22, even 23N is right there. You guys should go have an awesome hunt.

Last year everyone with 26 drew. He would very likely draw if he applied. The 27 muzzleloader hunt would be a sure thing.

1 more year

100% for the archery hunt

Shoot you hunt that way anyway!

I ate like dogshit but still got my 5.6 tempo miles in this AM.

GoHunt says 7 for the Peaks hunt area and 8 for the unit wide hunt.

You bring up some valid points. Posting them here won’t do much to move the needle. You will need to go to send your comments to the commission and probably show up at the commission meeting to make your voice heard.

So you read it or you didn’t?

Maybe just check one out before you start throwing stuff out there. We have an R10X and my kid who isn’t an expert but also isn’t “beer bellied” couldn’t shoot those kinds of groups practicing for 30 min 3-5x per week. No idea on airbows. I know people hate them but I haven’t ever seen one in the field. Seems like having to carry compressed air around would be a major limitation. Are these things really having a negative impact on the industry? Aren’t the trad bow guys making the same claim about compounds? It’s the same concept, just a different measure on the spectrum. Everyone wants their own methods included and nothing more. I don’t know what the right line is. I hunt with a vertical bow, so no skin off my back. But I also feel for guys who can’t and understand why they want to stay in the game. That makes my odds worse, for sure, but I at least understand it. Seems like you could just eliminate sitting water and take away a lot of the advantage right there while also keeping the efficacy down. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t know if that is true or not. The hunters I have hunted with weren’t getting those kind of groups. But they weren’t like world class shooters either. Do you know dudes getting those kinds of groups?

To be honest, I’ve been on plenty of hunts, archery and crossbow. I would never choose to shoot a crossbow over a vertical bow if I had the choice for a spot and stalk hunt. Carrying a tripod and that thing around, trying to cock it and hoping it doesn’t harpoon you in the mean time is horrible. For sitting in a blind, they are great. A lot easier to shoot. But if I am capable of shooting a vertical, that’s the way I am going. Kind of seems like a bunch of sour grapes from dudes who think a crossbow is something it isn’t.
