    IMO, the other issue that is making things worse is the fact the CDOW keeps making fewer and fewer units as OTC units so now guys that are chasing points and wanting to hunt every year are finding crowding worse and worse in the few remaining OTC units. I suspect eventually all units will be draw only, which it sounds like archery is the first to get there.
    It?s crazy that some archery units are draw, when the later rifle units are otc. Seems backwards to me given archery success rates vs rifle success rates.

    Guiding associations make a lot more money guiding rifle hunters than archers so they have a pretty big lobby fighting against rifle otc changes. There is really only one organization that shows up at cpw meetings representing the archery community.
