Maybe Barry would be better off forming a private consulting firm to offer hired "sharpshooters" vice offering an opportunity to any SPORTSMAN who can shoot a bow competently.... He could make a lot of money and suffer a lot less grief!!
Barry is not offering an opportunity to any SPORTSMAN who can shoot a bow competently. He is offering the opportunity to those who can shoot a bow competently and who he picks. It worked out this year because there are not as many hunters wanting to hunt as there are spots to fill but that may not always be the case.

I am only asking that a lottery be used to pick from the pool of competent archers rather than an arbitrary system of someone "picking".

I also don't believe that you should be required to join a certain organization to be able to hunt on land that is owned by the public.
