I was one of those that attending the Parkland meeting. Those numbers may be close if you're guessing.
It is part of the Bowzone and we didn't like to see more shotgun/muzzleloader season.
The local biologist said at the time that there were 1.5 deer per square mile in the area. Those numbers didn't require a increase in harvest.
What I don't understand is all the hostility from people over us having 3 bow only WMU's in the province out of how many? Seriously?! If you want to hunt there learn how to shoot a bow and knock on some doors.
Just be patient tho as you will probably see Crossbows included into the bow season before long. Manufacturers will not quit selling them.
Pope and Young has caved in on more than one technical advancement over the years. Part of the reason I no longer support them after 30+ years as member and measurer. And yes I support other organizations besides ABA.
