I don't doubt that there will be a bit of a slouch after the huge spike, but here's the problem. That huge spike is what's going to kill our general tags in archery season. At the slightest hint of more harvests than anticipated they'll shut er down. And we all know how hard it is to have something given back. They're in a big hurry to take it, not so excited to give it back. Anybody been grizzly huntin after the "3 year" moratorium? Me either.

oh, and the biggest of all pictures here....is that we have a chance here to fix a mistake we missed long ago....put the bows together where they fit....whatever managment has happen to accomodate....so be it, its about doing the right thing imo....and now that we can understand our mistake lets change it and make it right by putting all the bows together where they belong |
