Default RE: What's your take on the subject

There is two things that work against the use of the CB. One is not the limited number of deer, Ohio's deer herd is growing every year and producing record book bucks. So a good DNR is key to your deer, Ohio has the best DNR IMO. It's the fact of how hard it has become to to find someone willing to let you hunt there land. I think the compound was mainly accepted because guys knew in there heart they would still be able to hunt and find new places to hunt. In this day and age the states that do not allow the use of the CB the hunters are scared to death of the competition that they think it will bring for more hunting ground. In Ohio and AR we are blessed and know the truth, but these fellow hunters do not and are getting more info from the Groups trying to stop the CB then the groups supporting it.

The other is the bow makers know that the passing of new CB laws is like watching parts of the body falling off, it is hard to do. The allowable use of the CB is a direct loss of sales and in any business that is a bad thing, and any business owner in there right mind would do everything to stop it, we would do it if it was us. What can help this is the bow makers making the switch. Bow Tech is one of the latest examples of this. Once they are set up for a slice of the pie to make the money, the wall will fall so fast we will not even be able to watch.

I have tried real hard, sometimes better then others to not slam my fellow hunters, they are being told untruths about the CB and what it will do to the deer. I live in a different world, in Ohio I do not face the battle that others face. But in a state where you have been pumped about what the CB will do to the deer is something that will be hard to reverse in peoples mind.
