Extended Archery Hunt in Rural areas

[MuleyKiller11]

Can we please do away with the extended hunt in rural areas. The bucks have been hunted since August and now they are all getting wounded and sent to die. Bucks in this state have no chance at survival. People don't even know what a mature buck looks like anymore. They think a 160" class willow horn is a mature buck. I guess in this state that is as big as they get.

What state? I’ll be heading out to my local rural area here in Idaho for the last weekend of archery

"All are getting wounded and sent to die" - Sounds like you are upset, but I really doubt your assertion is even close to true.

What evidence do you have to back this up and what general area are you talking about?

you really think a guy in Utah that can only get out a couple weekends a year is going to pass up a 160 class buck on ANY of the hunts? lol

EVERYONE ELSE IS HUNTING MY DEER! - Everyone

There's a reason why they hold the extended in certain areas. The dwr and landowners don't want that many deer in those areas. Rather than the dwr going out and shooting them at night. They are at least giving people a chance to hunt them.

It ain’t just the archers. Creedmoor Syndrome has turned everyone into a long-range sniper. Butt there’s no denying they can hit them.

Some of them are exceptional crack shots though. Can you imagine how hard it is to shoot a running deers foot off? (left rear)

Creedmoreitis is real and only getting worse. Best of luck on the late hunts

Anyone got coordinates of the 160" we are talking about, I liked a chance at him.

Me too. I just broke out my bow for the first time this year and I have my slider sight dialed to 150 yards.

Some people just have to vent about things they know little about.
