I voted for both archery and all day, but I can tell you that MDC will do all day before they do archery unless they do them at the same time. From conversations Ive had they view archery as extra opportunity for the same people that already have a lot of time to hunt. All day they believe will add opportunity for those that have none or little chance to hunt currently.

selfishly yes I would hunt an archery turkey season, as well as all day hunting. But, jezzo, let's give the quarry a chance, a 3 week season to 1pm is just fine. I would absolutely not support ADH or a MO archery season for turkey. If the turkey population get past the golden mean (haha) and solve the BS environmental resistance Whatever TF that is, and we get back to populations of where we can kill 60K in the Spring and a ton in the Fall, perhaps an archery season would be reasonable, otherwise, we can use our bow for three weeks now, and even crossbows are acceptable as well for those three weeks.

So, are the people against a turkey archery season also against deer archery season?
Archery specific seasons are not needed, never were. But I still like having them. Managing numbers can be done with any methods seasons.
I don’t care all that much, but it stands to reason that a person against it, also is against deer archery seasons. More time to go sounds like a good idea to me. :thinking:

deer and turkey are different. We are not trying to manage an overpopulation of turkeys like we are deer

I'm not, it was my understanding that archery was added to allow more opportunity for hunters while at the same time the herd was needing to be reduced in numbers. IMO very bad to liberalize regulations when things (TURKEY POPULATIONS) ARE GOING south!

/\ And this right here is ONE of the reasons turkey numbers are declining. Because people (mostly hard core deer shooters) think that managing the two species is the same. Kind of like managing their deer farm for waterfowl habitat.
