Thanks for putting up these polls Woody.
Obviously we are sampling a very small number hunters here, but the fact that half of the people with an opinion on this site support archery only areas, tells me that this is definitely something hoosiers should push for in years to come. I feel that our DNR is reluctant to do much of anything without a push.....it's time we start pushing, or at least time to start that dialogue.

With the way the regs are now, no. If you add xbows to these areas so anyone can hunt, then yes.

I'd say go for it. I recall a lone voice for crossbows once. |

Sure ... We can make one 65% let off compound only, one 66 and up let off only, one recurve only, one long bow only, one self bow only..... Maybe set it upike the IBO and have different WMAs for the different set ups. Lord knows we can't allow someone to have teensy tiny bit better chance at killing a buck we might get.
What foolishness!

No.
The only reason to do this would be an area that bow / x-bow would be the only safe choice.

I agree only making them bow only when there are safety concerns, Im a bowhunter always have been, I rarely hunt firearms or muzzleloader seasons with a weapon other than a bow. Just my preference, I really enjoy archery and I take full use of it when I can but I dont think we need set areas now for certain weapon choices unless safety factors in to it. The season already provides weapon choice depending on the time of year we dont need to add more ways to seperate them.
