If rifle hunters get ahold of this proposal they will almost unanomously oppose it, which is why it will never happen. I've hunted west texas and yes the ranchers and rifle hunters want the five day break. It gives the deer a break from the pressure of bowhunters (which there are quite a few more of nowadays) which in turn increases the success rate of the rifle opener. I personally don't have a problem with the intermission, and would not support getting rid of it.
