BuckAlley,
So essentially you are saying you oppose the xbow in archery season because it isn't fair. Because the xbow hunters have a better chance of harvesting a deer. Well I don't see this as a question of fairness at all. Is it fair to use a compound 300ft/sec plus arrow when their are guys out there with a long bow? If everyone has the same opportunity then in my opinion it is fair. introducing the xbow in archery season won't effect archers. You admitted that. So the archer has the choice to continue hunting with his recurve or compound or try the xbow if he wants to improve his chances. Its up to everybody. That's fair!
Is it fair to us archery hunters to allow that sort of weapon...
A line like this is really offensive to me and I believe a lot of other hunters. Where do the "archery hunters" get off with the attitude that it is for them to "allow" any type of activity during the season. The woods are owned by all not just the archery hunters.
