I spoke with Mr Toole a couple weeks ago. Talked to him about 30 min (nice guy). He said two main reasons for zones gives guys that work weekends days to hunt during week and gives the small game hunters a place to hunt (they can hunt the opposite zone on gun days). I still don't agree with it but at least I gave my feedback. I'm not driving half way across the state to hunt with a bow during the rut and during gunseason so honestly probably won't make much effort to go back.
