I would be surprised to but from someone who drives through multiple roads in Collin and some Grayson roads, I've noticed increasing numbers of deer AND hogs killed by cars. Maybe the purpose would be to cull some of the numbers that bowhunters simply haven't taken care of alone? Or the increasing number of landowners have cut down the acres of allowed hunting and the deer pop. has boomed? Just grasping here as to why it may be considered.Last edited by tdwinklr; 11-21-2021, 12:01 PM.

Keep hagerman bow only but a rifle season in Grayson wouldn’t hurt my feelings any. Seems like the big boys at my place are always out of bow range or not enough light left to see my pins. I suspect plenty are killed in Grayson with a rifle anyhow.Last edited by FireNguns; 11-21-2021, 12:40 PM.

Where I hunt, I have small neighbors to the the south and west. Im mean small like 5-15 acre small. I was sitting in my blind yesterday(bow hunting) and there were a number of gunshots from those two directions. Hopefully Grayson and Collin can remain bow hunting only.

This was proposed by TPW back when the push was made to open a general season in Grayson. We used to be archery season only. The only reason it didn't go through was public comments against it and a few very influential people making there viewpoints known and getting our state legislator's involved. At the time, the parks and wildlife argument was a Grayson general season with archery weapons only didn't fit the mold of other season structures in place and a single county couldn't be managed with a different season than surrounding areas. Turns out it could and it became the model for opening seasons to the south. If it turns out they are making another run at this, public comment will be critical. Grayson's population and spotty deer herd will not affect decision making on this unless the public makes it an issue as before.

I don’t have skin in the game as I don’t hunt nor own property in Grayson County but I find it sad that hunters want to keep other hunters and possible future hunters from hunting; and likely for selfish reasons.
No wonder hunting numbers are dwindling. Not everyone is interested in hunting with a bow, but they might be interested in hunting with a gun.
