As a lifelong Colorado resident I have skimmed through all 6 pages on this thread. Lots of bitching and whining from who might have to give up a couple days, mostly bow hunters. I have bow hunted in the past, I prefer muzzy for deer and rifle elk these days. All due respect for bow hunters but, most I know don't even hunt until the last couple weeks of season. I think archery season should be archery only so as not to be intruded on by us muzzy hunters. Push season dates back a little, reduce the rifle seasons and screw the quiet time. Back in the day antelope, excuse me "PRONGHORN" was a 3 day season. We all want a quality hunt, do away with OTC tags.
If controlling herd population is the objective, the cows and does on private land are the target. We all need to stick together as hunters and respect each others method of take.
