Small Game hunting on WMA during Archery

One WMA has allowed this for several years. I've gone squirrel hunting there a few times during archery season. But I'm a quiet hunter -- mainly out for solitude and reflection. One deer walked right up to me, about 30 feet away, and hung around for ten minutes, ignoring my orange clothing. (True, I was pleasantly surprised.) The archers don't seem to mind as long as each one respects the other's space. But it is briefly scary to realize you've [potentially] been in someone's sights when you look right above you and see a camouflaged archer just feet away . . . .

Have you guys noticed in the regs. for 2017-2018 that they allow small game hunting during Archery hunts on WMA. Is it just me that finds this crazy? They also allow small game hunting during firearms hunts also on WMA's. What do you think? Does this create
trouble?
