Its both, its the fact that these slobs will now have the ability to use a weapon that they have no true knowledge of to attemp to kill an animal.
Matt, I hear ya brother, people from other states just can't understand what your "typical" PA hunter truly is. Nothing beats hearing the sound of 5 guys un-loading their rifles at a group of deer running across a field 250 yards away. Nothing beats those bursts of 4 or 5 shots within seconds during rifle season. Nothing beats that mentality that these hunters have that its better to just shoot and hope to hit.... hell, that way you have a chance of maybe hitting that animal. How about the road hunters, they are gonna have a field day with this one, have a loaded crossbow on the seat of their truck as they drive down dirt roads during archery season. O yes, these are the lovely "fellow hunters" that truly represent the heritage that is hunting in our great state of Pennsylvania!
LOL! And how do these same slobs not have access to a compound to go out there with the same mentality?
What about the rifle hunters who have the one shot one kill mentality, or the bowhunters who fling arrows with the lets hope I hit mentality.Oh the mindset change we would have if an arrow made the sound of a bullet on the shot...Again you are classifyinga weapon, by the mindset of the few badapples of hunters out there using said weapon.
Why do PA guys think they are a special breed of slobs?
DT says the same thing about NJ. Pa guys about PA....GA about GA.....KY hunters about KY......guess what guys, there are terrible hunters in every state! lol I think you'd be shocked just how many terrible hunters live past the PA state lines.
And I know it's irrelevant.....but I've never seen a crossbow that I could stick out my window to shoot a deer...unless you drive a MAC perhaps
....Now that liberty bow?
You can't crucify a WEAPON because of bad hunters in the woods. There are just as many no good, slob, sob bowhunters as there are crossbow hunters....I just dont understand all the negativity.
KY Crossbow hunters have Oct 1-19 and Nov 8-Dec31 to hit the woods, basically 2.5 months....and guess what? Our world didn't fall apart, our deer keep on keeping on....I wouldn't feel threatened one bit if they offered them Jan and Sept...the months we get that they don't....what's the big deal? If some slob wants to hit the woods without respect for the animal or wounding one, they can still go with a compound just as easily.
And not to ruffle feathers, but I think we put WAY to much stock in just how hard it is to get to killing groups with a bow. I'll put $100 that if you give me a guy who has NEVER shot a bow in his life but is normal and healthy...we can have the bow sighted in and sub killing sized groups out to 20-30 yards in no time, 1 hour or less. I recently switched sights....know how many shots it took me to be hitting softballs anywhere to 45? 16. Granted I shot probably 100 more after that, but I didn't touch my sights after the 16th shot. Wasn't it quick who last year or the year before went and killed a deer the afternoon he bought a bow and set it up just to prove a point how easy it CAN be??
