[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 2988462"] Yes, hunters have lost deer, elk, moose etc...but..to claim that providing a means for a physical challenged individual to hunt in an archery season will increase the numbers of lossed game animals is ridiculous He is claiming "many" well that has to be more than just honest hunters owning up to loss and posting and a large percentage of loss would definitely have ended archery hunting a long time ago. The media would be all over it. How many licensed archery hunters in Montana? Were any cited for game wastage? I can tell you Manitoba numbers for Elk Draw archery season 2020/2021--689 , 2021/2022--702 , 2022/2023--746 General Rifle Elk 2020/2021 -- 1033 , 2021/2022 -- 1077 , 2022/2023 -- 1124 Don't have harvest numbers because those aren't listed any more and have to be requested, usually compiled by start of next season, so run a year or two behind. So, what percentage are we looking at, all the bow hunters of my acquaintance are on par or more avid than the long range shooters. Given the range limitations of the equipment compared to firearms and unless in a concealing blind the gross body movement needed to come to full draw, you are dedicated to the hunt to get it done.
