The inlines have no effect on the deer population.The doe population is regulated by antlerless allocations.If that doe wasn't killed by an inline,chances are it would be killed with a rifle.The concern is that by adding crossbows into the general archery season,more pre-rut bucks will get killed,thus shortening the archery season.That's precisly why muzzleloader hunters have never been able to have an early buck season.Crossbows will not increase the kill.Rifles control the harvest.
DOUGE, WHERE DO YOU COME UP WITH YOUR INFO.
in-lines are killing more doe in oct that would make it thruseason.thats another doe that wont make it to be breed in nov and maybe make it thru until next year and have a fawn.
you know doe get harder to get after archery season with pressure, in oct they are easy to get, you have to know that.
pre-rut buck thing is wrong.
most that get a crossbow will shoot the first doe they see.[:@]
crossguns will increase kill of deer in archery.
no doubt about that............
