Just as I suspected. "I want, I want" not much different than others wanting what they want.
As for a tiered system for bowhunting, that is your brain child not mine.
All I said was choose your weapon, nothing about a tiered archery system.
By stating which weapon u will use, we would eleminate these guys that hunt with bows as opposed to the Bowhunters! As you put it!
So u want to keep your right to hunt mule deer every year, while increasing priority? Sounds like you want everything for yourself!
Good old Alberta, take what you can whir you can!

I have been 999'ing my mulie draw for the past 4 years due to time restraints in november and garbage deer numbers. Next year I plan to draw that tag. I would also like to be able to head to that zone to hunt that buck with my bow in sep/oct.
Another scenario to punch holes in your hair brained idea with regards to more restrictions of bowhunters based on skill. You want the skilled guys and newbies/casual guys hunting different seasons. As part of our duties as hunters/outdoorsmen it is our duty and obligation to pass this way of life on to our children and friends who are interested. When my children are old enough to bowhunt, by your plan, I could not hunt with them. A new hunter would not be able to hunt at the same time as his buddies who are trying to get him into the sport.
Also, how would one come about determining who goes into each tier. Heck some 14 year old kid who has been brought up around bows his whole life and is a crack shot is a better hunter then a guy who may be out there hardcore every day but rarely practices and is not a great shot. who goes into which tier? do we need to spend a bunch of money to set up a committee and program to go around to everyone before draws are put in each year and determine who gets to go in each season?
truly head shaking
