You blast away with those numbers, we in Arkansas still arent the ones crying......
This is like saying the onesin the gas chambers shouldn't cry. Its a little cooler on the outside, huh? "Let 'em drink lemonade".

After reading the guys' (Xbowproponentsfrom states other than PA)'sarguments (regarding PA).....it reminds me of a bunch of old MEN sitting around deciding what a woman's rights are are with her own body.

Easy for you to say, huh?
Kind of like a bunch of hunters decide what weapon is best for other hunters[:-]

Like I said PA and MI are similar. I would rather give my fellow hunters a choice. To me that is what it comes down too. If the DNR of MI is for it, and health of the heard is not harm. What is wrong.

Matt has made some points, but there is 0 DATA to back them up. It's all speculation on both sides
Since you say bring them on, and are so big harted, you opening up the farm to public hunting this season.
For you yes
And a crossbow hunter has hunted and killed a deer on our farm

I am surrounded by gun hunters, so my stance may put more pressure on the deer I hunt, but to me more people in the woods is not a bad thing.

What I see happing is most of the compound(half) shooters buying an Xbow. Being the way most of them shoot, the deer will thank us[&:]

Is there anysound sciencereason in MI(PA jump in if you want) to not allow xbows in achery season?
Is there any reason besides "more people will hunt"

If someone can show me data where it harms the herd, and not their hunting, I am all ears.
I read once where the first thing an expert xbow hunter wanted was forbaiting to become legal ,so thenthe way thingssnowballaround here all of the new xbow hunters will become master baiters and I for one don't like the idea.
