I don't know who you are calling "the people in the know", why I asked. Some folks think they know, some have an agenda on what they say, and others are simply too stupid to know, and some do know. I don't know which ones you are talking about....
I agree there most likely will never be any safety issues with bowhunters on that land, and legal hunters will deter poachers from hunting there, actually making the area , and surrounding lands, safer. No poachers with guns is always a good thing.
my wife, while legally hunting, was barely missed by a poachers bullet onct. Like missed her head by inches. She cell called me and gave me directions, I put two and two together and was waiting at his exit spot. You can imagine it did not go well for him.
Be interesting to see how all this airs out....
