I know in most units the early rifle is one week earlier than the muzzleloader tag, That make a ton of difference when the velvet comes off and the deer become tree rats. Archers are in there a week before the rifle hunters and they get first dibbs on the big ones. Even if there are good deer left after the archers they have been bumped and are much wiser to the rifle hunters.
