[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1307020, member: 4319"] My 25 was not a literal number, it was an example. I just go in from the woods and I'm tired, I'm not being as clear or logical as I could be. Sorry. Then we could go into an 80's compound bow technology and accessories vs. what we have nowadays. There is no way allowing compounds (or x-bows) on the base would not up the buck kill numbers a good amount. Enough to lessen the number of hunters drawn. A couple % points of buck harvest numbers makes a big difference. Of course they don't want x-bows on the facility during the rut. 100 hunters in there with x-bows would waylay the bucks during the rut. I know that, Starry knows that, everybody knows that. They are not hiding it. Any significant increase in the amount of bucks taken necessitates fewer hunters on base. Handicapped or not. The Army does not have to allow hunting at all. The volunteers don't have to work it. I'm a guest there, I'm just happy they let me in. I say "sir" that weekend more than I do when I'm talking to a cop on the side of the road.:D Bottom line, all this "opportunity' talk we hear about is tailored to our interest. ME INCLUDED OFTEN TIMES, I'LL ADMIT IT. "Not fair to the handicapped because they don't get to hunt the rut." Ok, sounds fine. Put them in there during the rut, go over buck quota....less hunters next year. Now those guys have an axe to grind. "Why not as many tags drawn as last year? We've had them forever!" You can't please all of the people all of the time. [B]At least with MCAAP, they let a lot of us in to try our luck[/B]. If only to complain about it on the internet when we get home. [B][U][I]Summary of things I have said. There are only 2:[/I][/U][/B] [B]Fact:[/B] Compounds and x-bows would make them decrease hunter numbers. Per the biologist anyways. I believe him.
