New bill about blinds near troughs

The reason for such liberal archery-only seasons is the historically lower success rates for archery.

Tactics/season structure/whatever that increases success rates, even marginally, have an outsized affect on the resource because of the huge number of tags.

We need to keep archery-only seasons low success rate OR manage them the same way we do rifle seasons.
If idaho was worried about archery success rates harming pronghorn populations they would make the season buck only. Currently they are any antilope seasons.
Historically winter kill is the driver of antilope populations in Idaho.
This bill was purely Idaho ranchers trying to limit hunting on blm ground where they hold grazing permits
aka "their undeeded property".
