Default RE: Crossbow's legal to hunt?

I voted yes but it really doesn't matter either way to me. The biggest argument I hear on the subject is that it makes it easier for slob hunters to go out during archery season. Well I don't agree with that, I see plenty of slob hunters using bows anyway. Lazy hunters are lazy hunters doesn't matter what weapon they use in my opinion.

I have owned both and I personally feel the modern compound bow is better than a crossbow. I wouldn't hunt with a crossbow unless I was forced to, just too many draw backs in my opinion.

I used to live in Ohio, and now live right across the border in MI. Crossbows are legal for archery season in OH and are legal in gun season in MI now. I haven't seen where it made a big difference in either state to be honest.

I am really shocked this is coming out the way it is. I would have figured it would have went largely the other way. We have some real crossbow haters here, or at least we used to anyway.
