"You can use your bow in any season you want. I am limited so you do have the upper hand on length of season."

THis is Pa and you are whining for crossbow legalization here. You live in Ohio. You have a longer season there to use your crossrifle than we have here to use our real bows due to fewer hunters and no rifle season. You also have much better buck quality in Ohio. Im sorry, but given all that, Im just fresh out of sympathy for you.

You dont like our season structure? Dont hunt here. That simple. For most of us it "works" and has for some time. As for season lengths being equal, they arent nor should they be. Archery is long for a reason. Muzzleloaders and crossguns have the next highest possible days afield and rifles have the shortest time. The more efficient the weapon, the less time, that simple.
