Wow, this post is getting crazy. It seems no hunter will ever be happy in TN. Life isn't fair. We should all realize that you can't always get what you want. In all honesty I don't care what our season is like. My suggestion for the TWRA is to continue doing their best to manage the herd health, numbers, age structure or whatever. If it would work, I'm sure the TWRA would let us have a 365 day bazooka season and kill 50 bucks a year. On the other hand "bowhunters" need to realize that we can't go to 100% compound bow hunting. There are too many deer for that to work as the harvest number would drop greatly.

To me, it's more about HUNTING, than the weapon.
I agree. I hunt with the maximum effective weapon legal most times. I love how lethal I feel when I get a gun or MZL in my hands after a long bow season.
That being said, I love bowhunting. It makes gun hunting seem easy. I don't know how I would handle a "deer season" and I would be more worried about how the deer would handle it...
Plus I love the solitude and quiet of bowhunting. Maybe it is selfish. I don't mean to detract from others experience, but it is what I know and what I enjoy the most.

Don't worry Master Chief, I have no problem with out current seasons or bag limits (although I wouldn't mind shifting the opening of MZ a week earlier). My whole point in this thread is simply to force those bow hunters that have deluded themselves into thinking that they somehow deserve a separate season to face the selfishness and falicies of that argument. I do this in such an aggressive manner because this tends to irritate people, which in turn makes them react more emotionally, and emotional reactions tend to expose real motivations.
In esssence, I'm being an a-hole on purpose to get people riled up. Once riled, they will expose their real belief system, and that is what I'm trying to bring out.

If gun hunters don't want to wait til ml season or rifle season. Then but bow hunt it's simple especially now that cross bows are legal.

No worries.. I find the smart-a version BSK quite funny! I remember you mentioning you had a smart-a side when it came to elitists in the thread thanking you for everything you do, I didn't believe you.. now I do

I've got an easier way. Simply allow any weapon during the entire season. If the deer population can withstand that level of harvest pressure, then what's wrong with giving everyone the same amount of days to hunt on the same calendar days with whatever weapon they want to carry?

Welcome to the world of BSK the a-hole!
Notice how many of the old-timers on this site don't even bother to respond to me? They know I'm just in "rile the newbies" mode.

I use to bow hunt a lot in the 80's and 90's. Then I got on a MZ kick and used it exclusively during rifle season. Now I am back to just hunting with whatever strikes my fancy that day.
I have a recurve, compound and a crossbow. I use them all during archery season.
If center fire rifle was allowed during "archery' season I would use it if I was on a big buck.
