If you are talking about hunting big game sure I would use the crossbow if that was the only thing legal.If you' re meaning ground hogs also,I would hate that and probely give up hunting them because I only hunt them with a bow.Here there is no season on them so the bow would still be ok.(I guess)
Curious,how many were hunting before there was a bow season for deer,bear and hogs and did you hunt with a bow anyhow???
