Definitely don't like it but as I'm sure it sounds like a gun I don't think a poacher would have any advantage using it in any season. A poacher is gonna do his thing no matter if season's in or not. Why would a poacher care if he/she is using legal equipment for the season when the activity they're performing is illegal anyway? I think its an interesting idea just not for hunting IMO
A poacher will use this weapon to kill a deer, then register it as a "BOW" kill.
I agree, the only use I see for this weapon is to illegally take game. At least its illegal in my state to the best of my knowledge.
