Before I ask your opinions, I am going to give a view into what is happening. I live in Louisiana and we just elected a new governor, Bobby Jindal. Before a few weeks ago, the only people who were allowed to hunt with a crossbow were people who had a medical waiver signed by a doctor. Now, anyone can use a crossbow during open bow season (as well as primitve firearms during muzzle loaderseason, but thats for a different forum ).

The governor did this to try and get more people into the outdoors. The past few years, hunting numbers have dropped in the state of Louisiana.

I am kindof opposed to the new legislation.

My questions are,

1. If you are in a state where this has already happened, and crossbow hunting is legal, how did this affect the hunting?

2. If you are from a state in which crossbow hunting is illegal, would you want this kind of legislation to pass, or not? Why?
