It will mean a bunch of guys will get drawn a year or two earlier. (This year only)

Not so Jamie. The archery harvest allocation (15%) will have to be issued using rifle success rates as the licence will be valid for both seasons.

At the end of the day, there are only so many tags available, who cares how you choose to hunt your tag.
All this BS from the bow guys about dedication and skill did nothing but confuse the issue. The ABA owns a large part of this.
Its simple. All the in fighting is tearing apart any credibility we as HUNTERS have. It allows our detractors to continue to win these fights.
Now the big fight is with outfitters.. Cripes what is the fall out from that going to be.
There is no rifle hunters or bow hunters or xbow hunters or outfitters or ML hunters or traditional ML hunters. There is just HUNTERS!
Bring all the splintered groups to the table and get some long term planning into
place.

Splinter groups are not an issue, there is more inuty at the AGMAG meeting than one would imagine.
The problem is F&W is splintering the management agreements. Why make the archery change before the Draw system contract is renewed? Why make sheep changes before finishing the new Sheep management plan? Why do a five year outfitter Allocation the year before doing a new outfitter Policy?
