I shoot all kinds of bows,I often hunt with a crossbow because I like them,as far as hunting is concerned I just dont find the differances some people seem to,we had a suburban hunt in town this year with no limit because the deer were causing to many problems and car wrecks.They issued 100 permits and would not let us use X-bows and they had a real practical simple easy test of hitting a deer in the vitals at 20 yds[used a standard 3 D target] only 57 of the 100 actually qualified to hunt and they only harvested 47 deer which I got 4 of[and none of the wounded ones were mine]. We had a number of wounded deer around that I personally knew of, which I really do not like.
now that the evidence is all in I will go in front of the council and tell them not allowing crossbows was a not the best way to handle it as I believe we would have less deer wounded and more killed, and if they would limit it to crossbows next year we would have better results all round. Lee
