Why can't we just all get along?
there are 2 views as I see it - 2 views that really hold a good solid reasoning
#1 - allow it all
#2 - restrict the technology BACK to a primitive season
#1 is pretty much what we have, and its not a negative to archery season, never has been anyway. Because of that, how can we, as hunters, possibly want to cut into our own ranks ? There are strength in numbers no doubt.
#2 only has merit if/when we have too many bowhunters or what hunting is, is lost
Its so frickin funny to see a guy with a tricked out, 345 fps, 80 yard accurate Bowtech with parallel limbs and cams the size of a dinner plate, triggered release, 80% letoff saying he doesn't want a crossbow to interfere with his archery season. Thats just assinign, the guy is regurgetating P&Y rhetoric and little else.
I don't know where to fall really, because I DO think we're losing what hunting is, that everything "easy" from compounds to ATV's to high fences etc, thats all a part of losing what hunting IS. I frequent Tradgang a lot, there is where you'll find a much close respect for what archery, bowhunting and the hunt is all about. I really believe that.
