Finally some good news

Yes, August through February shoulders constant and continuous pressure on cow elk.

Lol - my favorite part - #2 on a "hunt roster" never got a call.

Someone here predicted it.

It’s hard hunting elk on private when they are worth money.

So there it is again. Commercialization of wildlife or its pursuit just f's everything up. Its a train that has left the station with no brakes.
I think the golden years are behind me but I will do what I can to fight this cancer.

I've experienced this before. Turns out there was another list, and I wasn't on it.

Couldn't agree more our archery season is over 100 days. If you want to hunt with a crossbow that's fine. You shouldn't get the full season though it should be separate.

For sure. September-December is a long season for crossbows.

That is true. Given it is done at the state level there are a low of systems and you have a lot of differences in the end goals. In WY X-bows are perfectly fine for all, in WA anyone can hunt with a X-bow during rifle season or with a disability permit during archery, in MT they will run you you out of town if they see a X-bow at all. AZ wants to create high-quality hunting and has determined that too many people can qualify as disabled and crossbows are too efficient of an instrument to allow them for the longer archery season and still meet its ultimate goals. People with disabilities are not excluded by the system, only by their physical limitations to do the activity. That is important. Some can still hunt during rifle season.

In the end, despite any attempt to give equality in opportunity, someone always get excluded. Could a quadriplegic argue that they can't hunt? Someone is always more disabled than someone else's baseline. So where do we draw the line for a state?

Two things are always true, humans are extremely variable (size, shape, capabilities, funds) and humans will always game the system to their advantage if they can find a way.

Right, and one of the best archers in the world right now, was born without arms...Matt Stutzman. Now I'm not saying he is out there hunting and hiking in the woods. But a guy like that clearly makes no excuses.
