First of all, I have nothing against Illinois Crossbow regs...when they are truly needed. That being said I was in the woods today when a forty year old man was setting up stands for the upcoming season...This guy was building a permanent wooden stand 20 feet in the air, carrying boards up ladders swinging a hammer with both hands. You get the picture. During general conversation I ask him about his bow and he says I use a crossbow. So I asked him how he got his permit, his answer I have pin in my right ankle from a high school football injury.
Sorry about the long post, Just had to vent.
