In my experience the issue has primarily been about direct disruptions of hunts, reduced quality of hunts and safety....not as much about actual realized success rates. Maybe I am off base, or the guys I know aren't representative of the mean, but the alleged 'increased wariness' of rifle hunted animals has typically been a secondary or even tertiary argument.

I suppose this all gets back to establishing what the real problem is before establishing a solution:
Quality of hunt?
Safety?
Success?
Wariness?
From what I've heard lately a couple of bowhunters feel they cannot hunt in the GOS because animals are too hard to find????
Before we go establishing a solution we need a real problem.
