Sproul hope the old girl enjoyed her walk. I hunt on my ground w/ a Xbow, not public not a neighbors. No one should be on my ground but me so it will not be crowded. I think gun season already is a stinker and other than the 1st day next year, I will probably take my vacay during inline and flint season. I used to hunt the whole first week of gun. This is an old argument and i dislike people saying the Xbow hunters will just fling bolts, as if the majority of bow hunters don't dust it off a week before season??? Not a good reason to stop the Xbow at all. I also am at an age where i won't take a class, I won't go . Send in the newbies but I have been hunting for 43 years and am not going. You don't make people take a test for a bow! I quit hunting bow because of people taking bad shots bow, finding gangrene deer from being hit in the leg. I chased I don't know how nany deer for folks who I thought new how to shoot. No, I beleive you get as many wounded deer in bow and the rate will go up exponetially with the amount of hunters oin the woods. Guys will be trading their bows in on Xbows as well. I hint now Xbow because I am sure of the shot I am comfortable w/ that stock and scope.
