Default RE: PA Regulations??

ORIGINAL: Lanse couche couche

When i was younger and didnt know any better, i spent a lot of time hanging out with guys with .22's and headlights in their trucks, if you know what i mean. Trust me, compared to a .22 carbine, a crossbow is too expensive,too big andclumsy, andnot accurate enoughfor "after hours" deer hunting, especially if it is being done from an automobile. Those who think that the crossbow is some sort of night time poacher's dream weapon are just flat wrong. As for those who want to poach during the day, agood compound bow is gonna be preferred over a crossbow because it provides a much quicker second shot, andmostpoachers aregonna go for more than one deer in a group if they have a chance.

good info.

most of poaching is done between hrs of 10pm to 2 am.

usually with rifle.
crossbow is only used in the PARKS where the big bucks hang out and shot will be heard.

this is why so many bolts were found at 1 park.

poacher does not want to chase buck in dark,so HEAD SHOT is best way.
