Special privilege? I am saying there is a limited resource of deer and more hunters with more effective weapons will kill more deer.
Last year per the Harvest Report:
Hunters hunting with a gun average 12.7 days of hunting to kill a deer and averaged killing 1.2 deer per hunter.
Hunters hunting with a bow average 22.2 days of hunting to kill a deer and averaged killing .5 deer per hunter.
Imagine that.... hunters using a gun are much more effective at killing deer.
If I did all my math correctly, the increased harvest if an any weapon season was implemented would be around 61,100 more deer per season. And it would be even higher if the hunters using a bow used a gun instead.
