Interesting trend line here from the most recent elk management plan in Idaho. Basically, it shows that bow and muzzleloader hunters are getting much better at killing elk, while rifle hunters are about the same. My read is there is little difference anymore between weapon classes, and begs the question of what is a "primitive" weapon. Does this matter? Does it impact you? Your elk herd? Match what you've seen/experienced in the field? Discuss...
