Can we agree though that the bow hunters get the best chances for the largest bucks... First pick you can say and that the majority of big bucks are taken by bow hunters during early season? Why shouldn't the average joe who wants to hunt early season use a weapon simulair to a bow but easier to use? Only different from an Xbow and a reg one is the draw is held back. Everything else is the same as far as I can see.
sammy,welcome,add to your list SCOPE,thats a big advantage vrs compound bow.
if we had lots of deer,i believe that crossbow would be welcome by the TRUE compound shooter.
it all comes down to this, crossbow WILL put more hunters in woods and reduce the deer herd down from what it is now in archery.
so, guys/gals that can shoot a compound are not going to be in favor of having more hunters in woods after that buck that they had to themselves.
i feel same way even tho i like the crossbow very much and the people on crossbow forum are top notch and like crossbow a lot,they are fun to shoot.
i believe the crossbow may be legal for all in state soon..
then the disabled will not be as LUCKY as they were up to this time as more hunters will be in woods.
more hunters in archery WILL make bucks more NOCTURNUL,its bad enough right now ,add more hunters after LESS deer, oh my...........
my opinion. PGC has ruined hunting so far, what the heck, ruin it rest of way with crossbow hunters added to archery hunters.why not.[:-]
i agree btbowhunter, i expect to see more archery hunters with missing fingers soon,you should see guys i see sighting in their crossbows at sportsmans club with fingers on rail.
