Inthe few other states that allow crossbow hunting the crossbow hunters kill more deer then the vertical hunters.I'd say that has an impact on the resource.
As for the compound hunters not allowing other weapons in our season what do you suggest we do?Allow rifles during the rut also?If you're allowed in with crossbows why not rifle hunters?
Do you happen to think the deer populations can handle that?
Why do you suppose vert hunters are allowed to hunt the rut?Because the populations can handle it with that type of weapon in place.
I take it you are against a specialized season?Bring in all weapons for all seasons?Why let the rifle hunters out?
