Cornelius08, DougEand the rest. You can use your bow in any season you want. I am limited so you do have the upper hand on length of season.So again you show your elitism in passing judgenment on my choice of weapons. But hey,seriously now, [>:]line those deer up in the pen, in the front yards, in the city xquare I don't care. Just get out of the way as I don't have to practice just point in the general direction and shoot!!I by all kinds of licenses for PA,I work 40 hours a week, I don't want o work for a deer, heck they are all over the place. Since I don't have to have any skills, you should with your canny woodsmanship be able to find all those wounded deer I sling bolts at............Like i said in another thread you want tradition hunt w/ astick bow, breech cloth and moccasins and trace your indian ancestory for proof to get a bow license. Otherwise that argument don't hold water pilgrim. Xbows rule!
