After about 30 yrs of xbow use in Ar, we took about 161,000 deer last season. Verts 10,xxx, xbows 41xx and guns the rest. Our deer are just as tasty as yours, lol. Wouldn't a reasonable person think if there was some magical advantage involved w/ them there would be different stats? Btw: 5 month archery season, 4 deer limit, 2 bucks max any weapon. Much ado about nothing.
