Question to LBR and Doublecreek = if crossbows were allowed this fall in MS how would your hunting change ? What would the impact to MS archery be ?
It wouldn't effect my hunting.... But neither would allowing guns into archery season.... But it would affect the overall spirit of a special, bow only season.. I don't consider the xbow a bow and neither do about 40+ other states and their related bowhunting associations...
You are saying a line in the sand needs to be drawn.... I draw mine when you no longer have to pull the bow back in the presence of game(ie.. xbow)
Im not saying a guy can't hunt with an xbow, he just cant hunt with it during archery season. You can't hunt with a rifle during primitive weapons season either... EXACT same scenario IMO
