it's why Colorado had to go draw only statewide. massive amount of hunters and not enough resources. this 3 month rifle season in alabama has to go no need to rifle hunt for 3 straight months.[/quote]
Or bow hunt [/quote]
why don't any of the states like illinois and kansas gun hunt the rut? bow hunting is not like rifle hunting. I had a mid 160 class 13 point at 90 a high 160 class 12 point at 75 and a mid 150 class 10 point at 60 yards in illinois this year. with a rifle I could have killed all 3 but I had a bow and they are still alive. with a rifle that's all you do is kill them. but when you kill one with a bow you beat him and the energy it took to kill him come from your muscles pulling that string back storing the energy in the limbs and transferring that energy into the arrow and into the animal. everything about a bow kill is all about you and what you did to make that happen. when you kill him with a gun that's all you did was kill. it is 100 percent easier to kill one with a gun and that is why the best states to hunt have very limited gun hunting.there is NO REASON to gun hunt 3 straight months. if u need that much time to kill a deer with a gun I reccomend you take up golf.
