Okay dep, but what do you think is going to happen if you allow people to take "the easy road" and use crossbows. Look at it this way, not everyone has the amount of respect for the game animals as the people on here. You are going to have a TON of hunters using crossbows that shouldn't be. If they had a compound bow in their hands but they shouldn't be using that, they are probablly going to miss.

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)
