Do you mean "the sport" of archery, like targets and tournaments or do you mean the 'sport' of hunting? I myself don't consider hunting a sport.
I've read through the whole thread and am sort of saddened. This bickering on who gets to hunt when and where, and with what is very concerning.
We are all hunters no matter the choice of weapons. We should not be fragmenting our hunting culture and the future of our hunting heritage.
Maybe there shouldn't be bow zones or rifle zones. Maybe we need to have just one hunting season for everyone in one big WMU called all of Alberta. A hunting season from September to December with the hunter's choice of weapons. And have a limit of one game animal per licenced hunter per year. And hunters must register whatever they kill and on what land location, for management purposes.
The only other solution is to close hunting down to the public. Have government meat hunters controlling our game animals and we can just go to the government meat store to buy our various game meats.
