I know that. When people stop looking at the big picture and do what's right for the sport as a whole and insist on doing what they want to do and to ell with the rest of the world, it's a lost cause. Nothing new though. It's exactly the same as whenI was on the losing side trying to keep compounds out of bow seasons.Just like when I was on the losing side in the fight over P&Y's 65% let-off rule. Just like when I was on the losing side to keep modern, scopedin-lines out of muzzleloader seasons.

As for the crossbow fight, I'm switching sides. I figure I might as well be on the winning side in ONE of these fights during my lifetime, and since they're doing their darnedest to turn compounds into vertical, hand-held crossbows anyway...

I am surprized to hear that about Idaho though, bow hunter44. They've long been one of the few states with sensible restrictions.
