Actually, it's not a law.

Archery only season is nothing more than one more form of gun control.

Legislators and city councilmen expect cops to pacify the liberals by keeping you from being armed with guns in most situations where you need them the most.

Advisory Board members expect our game wardens to keep you from being armed with guns in order to pacify the liberal-minded bow hunters who want the woods to themselves and think that it's a legitimate function of government.

Gun control is gun control.

Some label it under public safety, some call it for "conservation".

The end result is a loss of freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Try hunting with your pistol while you're there.

Let us know how that works out for you.

When it's gun season i will. With that logic, deer season should be in year around.

Section 9-11-240
Opening of season for hunting, etc., of female deer and unantlered male deer.

Any law of the State of Alabama to the contrary notwithstanding, the Commissioner of Conservation and Natural Resources is hereby authorized to open a season in any county, area or section of the state for the hunting, taking, capturing and killing of female deer or unantlered male deer by a duly promulgated regulation when, in his best judgment, he deems it necessary for biological reasons or because of crop damage to open the season on such deer, provided this meets with the approval of the landowner or leaseholder.

(Acts 1966, Ex. Sess., No. 180, p. 213, § 1.)

49er,

I can't believe I am going to do this but what the heck. If it were up to you the season would be any weapon and year round.

[My answers are this color.]

You want cut and paste, so here it is ... the lawful reasons I have consistently stated seasons are to be set:








And a few years later when there were no deer and turkey left, you would blame it on the gov. And please don't say it can't happen. Just look back at all the hard work conservation orgs did to reintroduce the elk, deer, turkey, etc.....where they had been whipped out. And that all happened because of unregulated hunting. Oh Snap, I just realized that is exactly what you want!


No, that's what you would like to make others think I want in an effort to divert attention away from your desire to use government to protect your own personal preferences... that's what liberals do.

And please understand that you calling "bow only season" "gun control" is taking it too far.

What do you call it?


And since gun hunters kill on avg around 7 times as many deer as bow hunters do, your idea just might require an adjustment in the season length or bag limits.

That would be fine. That's the proper purpose of setting seasons and bag limits... to insure the perpetuation of the species.

But, I am guessing you don't care about that. You just want to slam the gov and have everything your way reqardless of the outcome.

Guess again, Barry. I believe you know better.

So please cut and paste some more.

I did. Now, show us your source of statutory authority to back up setting bow only seasons just because people like you want them.

You don't have to cut and paste, just tell me where to look in the law and I'll find it if it's there.
