Late to this party, but I've read the comments with interest. Everybody can find something to grouse about in their own location or circumstances (me too), but if you move to a global view, we have rarely had it so good as hunters. On a national scale, there is more game and more opportunity than ever before.
A lot of the people posting here have obviously served on stakeholder groups at the local or state level. When you do that for a minute or two, you realize all of the politics involved in the process. Once you get past the desire to scream about that, you can't help but marvel at the fact that despite the myriad factors working against them, state DNR offices actually do a pretty good job of protecting the resource and offering opportunities to sportsmen.
Most people here would push for resources to be managed along scientific principles. The fact is that a large scale traditional archery season doesn't do much to promote opportunity for any significant part of the hunting community. It also doesn't do much to achieve management objectives. Additional seasons also stretch the resources of agencies charged with enforcement and monitoring. However, smaller scale designated traditional archery hunting areas could be a great compromise and be beneficial for a smaller stakeholder group and a smaller wildlife population.
