Sproulman: Some good points for sure, but gotta take exception to a few things. 1st off, being 60 yrs old this month,I learned along time ago there's a bozo on every bus. 2nd off, there was some statistics posted somewhere about how the Ohio Fish and Game [Arkansas name, not sure what Oh calls em] had just about an equal number of poaching violations between the vert crowd and the xbowers. I hate to see xbow poaching posts, because although there may be a few bozos on the xbow bus, it really makes the whole fleet look bad, and is one of the main arguements for the anti xbow crowd. It's easier to get last years taxes back that it is to shoot an xbow from a vehicle. I know that part of what you were saying about people hunting in a no hunting area is no doubt true. I myself have done this. Back in the late 70's early 80's times were hard. One thing about having a family, they get hungry whether you have a paycheck every week or not. As far as some bozo taking 100 deer w/ anything, that's truly a shame. We all know someone some where has poached a deer or more w/ alot of different equipment, just hate to see xbows labeled that way.
