"no one is going to go buy a crossbow just for poaching."

Sure they will. And they would bereally stupidnot to. Its the perfect poaching tool. Of course I dont see it much better if they also decide to use it in a legal manner for half the time.

"they would not be any easier to poach a deer with than a regular bow."

Far easier to shoot. Far easier to use from a vehicle. Far easier period.

"your not shooting a crossbow out of the window. you have to get out to have room to shoot it. "

Better check your tape measure and measure most full sized vehicle windows! That is simply a false statement.

Crossbows are a poachers dream tool.

There are many maleffect to crossgun implementation and VERY few bright spots.

Bad: Loss of tradition, probably eventual shortening of seasons, less buck and lower age of bucks due to added buck harvest, more doe harvest, most likely more poaching though exact extent is debatable, brings in more slobs, more crowded woods in a time cherished for the peace andsolitude, causing rift among hunters, more mature bucks going nocturnal, loss of legislative voice in matters due to majority being xgun hunters like occurred in ohio...etc. etc. etc.

Good?:Pgc doesnt get spanked by a few legislators who want them, and xgun companies hit the financialjackpot.

Good? [:'(]
