HB1282 and HB1137 New deer season bills....

PEOPLE ANYONE CAN BOW HUNT.... ITS YOUR CHOICE

Ya'll act like you have to be born into the sport or gifted in.... ITS OPEN TO EVERYBODY

What part of I do bow hunt didn't you get. Only difference is that I don't look at bow season as an all or none frame work. You can Bow hunt all season so what the Gun hunters and cross bow hunters can't. You would be singing a different tune if it was the gun hunters saying you can hunt guns all season if it was the other way around.

It's just plain selfish and all the excuses in the world won't fly when you can still bow hunt all season. I could have killed deer even in Dec. bow hunting. I had two does walking under my stand this year with guns going off in the distance on public land.

It would not kill anyones chances to share a two week period. Maybe you would have taken to it better if they said you could only crossbow hunt those two weeks instead. That will be the next thing since the bow hunters seem to dis approve of crossbows during bow season.

It is simply a user group crying to keep things in their favor. Everyone knows this and even the user group itself knows this.

THE FLIPPIN GUN HUNTERS, CROSSBOW HUNTERS, SLINGSHOT HUNTERS, SPEAR HUNTERS, VAJ HUNTERS, DOOBY HUNTERS, DUCK HUNTERS, SQUIRREL HUNTERS, COON HUNTERS, TURKEY HUNTERS, CAN ALL HUNT DURING BOW SEASON< JUST GET A BOW .....

I guess we should take away the primitive weapon season too since it is exclusive to those guys... I dont have enought money to go out and buy a 300 dollar gun and 100 dollar scope so it is wrong that the people that can afford to but a 45/70 can hunt but I cant....... GIVE ME A FLIPPIN BREAK

A kid that is taught how to bow hunt wil become a hell of alot better sportsman/conservationist than one that is handed a high power rifle OCT 1 and told blast away son all the way to FEB....

I agree with you on ALOT of things MSDUCKMEN but this is not one of em

I've got to agree. Get a bow, or if you can't shoot a bow b/c of some ailment, get a cross bow and join us.

I will support an extended gun season until kingdom come. And it will come, eventually. The majority wants it. Main reason I want it is cuz... I cannot stand-stand-stand- the bow hunting community as a whole. Makes me sick thinkin about the bitching and whining I hear. They were trying to get up support this year to do something about the squirrel hunters. Just wasn't quiet and serene enough cause of them squirrel hunters...pfff. Some of these bow guys stayed on the mommas teet too long.

So here's my proposition...the fancy-not even primitive shoot em at 50 yards bows...the fancy sights that just as welse be scopes....the fancy broadheads and arrows...the fancy scent free camo...oh yeah and the bowhunting community...can go to hell.

These sentiments aren't MY fault either; they are the BOWHUNTING communities' fault. It's kinda like that kid in school nobody liked cuz he cried and complained so much...people get sick of it. Maybe I'll change my feelings on it...naaaaa to hell with MBA.

Sounds to me like you are a rifle hunter and doing a lot of whining yourself and bitching yourself so to hell with you too!

AUSTIN,

you need to calm down for I send Uncle Craig over to give a good spankin

As far as I remember you where bitchin and whinin bout the MDWFP taking stuff from you guys... remember the whole Naniah Waya deal??? You will stand up for something you are truly passionate about, same thing with making WMA's a draw..... The people that CHOOSE to bowhunt where never trying to get a group up to do away with squrriel hunting... The new season they where pushing for was not even going to be during bow season....

[driveby]

Yall should also try looking at it from the eyes of the gun only crowd. They pay the same for a hunting license as a bow hunter, but get fewer hunting days than bow hunters. Just sayin'

Well actually you have to pay an extra fee to hunt with a bow. If you done away with the extra days for archery only and made it all one season, look at all the extra revenue that would be lost by the state of Mississippi on archery licenses. You don't think they're going to do that do you?

[greenheadgrimreaper]

Sounds to me like you are a rifle hunter and doing a lot of whining yourself and bitching yourself so to hell with you too!

Bwahahaha. I love it! Ask anyone that knows me how much I love a good roundabout. I do rifle hunt some, I do. I have killed one deer in 2 years just hate messing with the damn things. Your a little whiny girl man Land Man.

And duck hunt it really is all in jest...it really does not matter to me which way the deer season goes, honestly. I imagine one day when I pick up a bow I'll see things differently. However the squirrel issue I was speaking of happened on mdwfp forums. Guys were chiming in on the small game forum about how bad they hate squirrel season during THEIR time. A few got banned (surely not?) but they were calling for a push to get squirrel season knocked back later in the year. That's the beef I had with the hardcore bow guys. As far as doing anything proactive about changing deer season dates. You really won't have to worry about me speaking out. I don't care.

This is another example of this MDWFP administration making another sector of the hunting community angry. But lord knows, don't speak out against them or you'll be called a roach and various other derogatory terms.

There isnt another bow hunter out there any more hardcore than I am been 6 years since I have shouldered a GUN.... I would NEVER want anyones season taken away from them...

You are right on about the MDWFP.... they have some shady ways of going about things and instead of trying to work with the sportsman of MS, it seems like they are trying to force us to fight amongst ourselves...

I got an idea for the DEPT.... How about lets say, oh um, ASK THE PEOPLE THAT PAY YOUR SALARIES WHAT THEY THINK???? That would require too much sense and apparently when you go through MDWFP office training you loose all that, because we have some GREAT biologist and G dubs out there but it is the people in the office that are making them, hell all of us look bad.

[The Land Man]

Has squirrel season not always been open in Oct during bow season?

[greenheadgrimreaper]

Yes it has Land Man... if you're thinking why are some bow hunters complaining now, the answer is...I don't know. Maybe the growing popularity and they feel entitled, I don't know. I do know you whine too much.

And duck hunt I admit, grudgingly, that I am a bit biased as I have never bow hunted. I may change my mind one day. However, lets just assume you have a girly man shoulder since it's been that long since you've fired a high powered rifle...

[The Land Man]

I do know you whine too much.

Boy you sure got me figured out!

Well actually you have to pay an extra fee to hunt with a bow. If you done away with the extra days for archery only and made it all one season, look at all the extra revenue that would be lost by the state of Mississippi on archery licenses. You don't think they're going to do that do you?

Hmm, guess you got me there. I was unaware that they were seperate fees. I've never actually bought a license

Personally I think the season should be open from Oct. 1 - Jan. 30 and all the MDWFP should be required to do is set the stipulations on what methods are legal, bag limits, and what qualifies as legal for harvest. After that it should be up to licensed sportsmen to police themselves. If bowhunting is your thing, that's fine, that's why man invented clubs. So people of similar interest and goals could gather together for a common purpose. Start up an archery only club, not a new idea by the way, there are several already in existance. If the 30-06 is your prefered weapon of choice and you can find enough guys with similar intrest, well there you go, another club is born. So on and so forth......

Or we could just keep bitching and whining like a bunch of teenage girls.

[greenheadgrimreaper]

Who bitching and whining? Land Man!!!

Can i be a bowhunter like you guys and join your cool club?

So you're telling me if i take two kids and raise one with bow only and one with a gun the bowkid will be a better sportsman/conservationist.......i didn't wanna get in this conversation but that is the most ridiculous comment I have ever heard.

I think thats what he is saying and I would have to agree with him, anybody can pick up a rifle and go sit in a shooting house on a foot plot and kill a deer and it doesn't matter if they have ever shot a gun before or not.

Just so were clear, could i not go down to the archery sto, buy a $1,000 dolla bow with all the new gadgets, have them sight it in, go sit on a food plot, and arrow a deer? Wait, i could. What your failing to realize is that just because you hunt with a gun means $#!+ on how you hunt. Do i hunt foodplots? Sure, on occasion i do. But i mainly try to be where the buck im hunting is. What does weapon have to do with it? Your ideas amuse me, they really do.
