The EC is controlled by the bylaws. The bylaws state the organization is reliant on the bow season. (I'm paraphrasing) So, any threat to the bow/archery season is a threat the EC must oppose. Firearms in the archery only season is such a threat. Even if they are in the hands of the youth, it circumvents the use of archery equipment in the season that bowhunters fought and paid for. I don't understand why you don't get this.
There are too many alternatives for the youth the commission could pursue; January, February, September, Winter break, Thanksgiving... Instead, they've got the hots for the bowhunters and the archery season. Has NOTHING to do with the kids, nor management. They just feel like they've got something to prove.
Once again; this is MY opinion. Just as the last comments were.
