Trad only bow area's ??????

[sbschindler]

Are there any Traditional Bowhunting only area's in your state,,,How big are they

[arrowsmack324]

Not that I can think of but that
sure would be cool.

20 acres.  I don't allow compounds on my woodlot.

I do know a couple land owners that only allow trad hunters on.

I know of 105 acres here.

There is a primitive only area in one of our state lands. Lots of horse trails in that area. All bows and muzzle loaders.

No traditional only areas here in Washington State. But Oregon has a couple units that are traditional only during the first week of the early archery season

There is the Mcalester Army Ammunition Plant in OK. They have draw only hunts and it is all traditional. There is supposed to be some real good deer there too.

man that would be awesome !
too many wheelies in my neck of the woods

[macksdad]

That would be an awesome concept. I dont know of anywhere in my area like that.

I believe the general population thinks that terminology means anything that's not a center fired weapon.

The general public would most likely answer your question with a positive response so I hope we find a way to support any and all who hunt.

I however interpret your question to be: are there areas that only allow bows that are simple sticks and strings?(glass or no glass) so my answer is "Nope" here in Missouri.

God bless,Mudd

As previously mentioned, Oregon has 2, Canyon Creek unit near John Day and the Trout Creek mountains in the SE corner.  Canyon Creek is only trad for the first week of archery season, but the Trout Creeks are trad only for the whole season.  The Trout Creeks are know for their big, but hard to find mule deer.  It's quite remote but you can drive in.  I've been there 4 times and hope to go again!

We barely have any sporting shops that sell any trad gear let alone an area to hunt with it exclusively.

Here in Oregon there is a Trad only unit... And some trad only draw hunts.
I hear those areas are low on game population though, expect for cougars...
I have not yet checked them out for myself.
More and more I'm convinced private land is the way to go. I saw far more hunters than game last season and I saw game every day...

Not traditional only, but here's some bow only area's...

Here in KY most WMAs are closed to firearms hunting of deer except for 2-4 days per season (usually the weekend before firearms season opens). This means archers, of all stripes, may use these areas which encompass thousands of acres at will. I also know several folks that own or lease private land who restrict its use anyway and by anyone they want.

I wouldn't hunt an area or support a regulation that didn't welccme my compound-tote'n son or best friend.

I don't know if its true anymore but Idaho used to have some early season traditional-only areas.

Ray Hammond's Hog Heaven is traditional only. That is what appealed to me and helped me decide to book with Ray. I'm going back for the 3rd time in Feb '11!

I was to the Trout Creeks in Oregon a couple of years ago.  Deer are supposable on a rebound from the drought/hard winters that took the populations way down.  It's big and few hunters from what we saw (and you can see for miles and miles) and it is a totally traditional bowhunting season.  Pretty nice. dino

[Owlgrowler]

Not in NJ, how about MT?

[Lunar-Tic]

Here in Nebraska we're going backwards. The game & parks are allowing cross-guns during our archery season next year. I think a trad-only zone would be unheard of.
