You still live in this utopia.....where you think all states are congruent. When you want to discuss the inland fisheries management strategies of OH and SC with me....we'll talk. Until then....comparing one state to another (with such differing logistics) is aboutthe "same" as saying Pamela Anderson and Marge Schott are both "women".
You are wrong and misled. EVERY states uses other states data, draws from it, uses them as templates, etc etc from QDM to tag fee's to the way they manage their fish and wildlife.
Crossbows are becoming more and more legalized to everyone in general archery season, and its because G&F's are FINALLY seeing there is no boogy man in the closet like P&Y preaches.
Until you produce 1 fact to the contrary, you and and all the anti-crossbow zealots will continue to lose support and you will see your states more and more allow them.
Gary....that's just it....there can be NO stats or data available.....until it's implemented in that state. Anything you cite from somewhere else only proves it worked in that state.
wrong, again
use whats available and make decisions based on that - its what people do -and the facts of crossbows everywhere they've been legalized for everyone says its not a bad move.
there is a very very good chance that will continue when they're allowed in PA, a very small chance the 100% consistancy of impact could be broken
and it COULD happen, crossbows COULD destroy PA archery season .......... its never happened of course, anywhere, no reason to think it WILL but it COULD and in the same breath realize all the benefits too and the consistancy there
PA WILL take the chance on crossbows and its highly unlikely there will be any negatives, and a very very good chance of all the positives
Germ if a bow company came out with a compound that was 600fps and you could also use a draw lock on would you be for that as well?
make it legal if you want, it won't impact my bowhunting ANY
Schultzy if you want to regulate technology you HAVE to remove compounds - are you ready to do that ?
