RE: Finding season casualties
Losing a deer every once in awhile is a fact of life with all methods of hunting.
The apparent inevitability of crossbows in archery season and having heard firsthand all the misconceptions regarding the capabilities of the crossbow in particular is what drives me to support mandatory bowhunter ed.
Not just picking on the crossbow either, Isimply believe that if bowhunter ed for all new bowhunters prevents even a few lost deer, it would be worth the effort
