its this simple,if crossbows are allowed and deer are less,a lot less now here in pa.you will see harder hunting and more pressure of the deer..this causes the bucks to become noc-turnal more than they are now..

i only offered how crossbows are working here in pa.archery hunters HATE crossbows in ARCHERY season..they dont care about them in any other season..only time i see crossbows used is in the ARCHERY SEASON..

crossbow hunters are usually ones up in years or disabled or so called disabled..most look for where YOU are hunting,if they know you are good hunter,they usually are in your area where you are..

i stopped 2 of crossbow hunters and both were following me to my spot..its publicland here, nothing i can do..so, now i hide my truck and walk about half mile then sneak into my spot..

another thing i noticed,is crews driving in archery with crossbows..also i see those crossbow hunters walking more with arrows in the bow..most i see dont hunt from treestand..they walk around ,sit, walk, sit,walk sit..

archery hunters say they are disturbing the buck they are after..

its publicaland and nothing you can do,so, i hide my truck and sneak alot more now..
