[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 195342, member: 704"] If you look in the records of other states that have gone one tag if I remember right it had very little affect because about 70% of bow hunters stopped bow hunting and went rifle. Now in states where you can hunt with any weapon but only get one tag that didn't happen. However harvest remained the same. I think a later season has a greater chance of stressing the deer and resulting in an even larger success rate. When there is snow on the ground the deer show up much better. Also, it's colder and if they get chased around they are burning a lot of energy. Bow hunters normally sit in a stand and don't chase deer around so late bow season has little affect. The more I think about it the more I realize it's hard to improve on the system we have. Our system is set up to give people the most opportunity possible, not as a trophy management system.
