Lefty .. I think everyone on this board is aware of your passion and proficiency with your tool of choice.. and good on you for being so dedicated to that choice.
What you seem unwilling, or not to understand, is that others wish to have the same opportunities to hunt the very special area - namely, the entire Edmonton Bow Zone with their choice of tackle at the same time as what is currently available to those with the same mind set as yourself. The Edmonton Bow Zone definitely is a very special place... probably one of the best trophy Whitetail areas in the Province, with plenty of Moose and Mule Deer available as well.
As such, it is not difficult to understand why some feel that they should have the special opportunities and early seasons reserved for themselves.
Try to grasp the fact that allowing some lesser "opportunities" for those with other tool and season preferences will not pacify their desire to enjoy the same privledges you have. You attempts to deflect the issue to the much less desirable options just don't cut it. If those options are so great, maybe you would like to trade opportunities with those less fortunate.
