An argument against separate weapon seasons

As someone who worked in a shop, I professionally, vehemently, but nonconfrontationally disagree. PLENTY of knuckleheads came out of the woodworks the day before season opener wanting me to tune and even sight in their bow for them.

And Fred Bear was a cool guy, but I trust him to be fair and unbiased about archery about as much as I trust today's saddle hunting business owners to be the same. He was blowing some smoke...he just looked classier doing it. ;)

That's fine man, I wont change your mind and doubt you will get me on board either. We can agree to disagree.

Sure there are tons of procrastinators out there, the fact I sold 120+ rifle licenses on the friday before opener is a testament to that.

I'd consider myself well within reason to say that a bad bow hunter is less dangerous to the public than a bad gun hunter. I've never been nearly shot by another bow hunter. I'd rather not be in the woods with a rifle hunter after the experiences I've had. If MN went to an all weapons season, I would give up hunting tbh
 
The problem with opinions is everyone has one and nobodies is the same and never will be so coming together on common ground is nearly impossible!

I hate that they can tell me what I can shoot animals with on MY OWN property. Why do they care if I shoot it with a bow or rifle as long as I obey seasons and limits?

In my part of SC private land gun buck season opens before public archery.
