So,will they use their inlines or crossbows to get that meat?They only have so many tags.I oppose the use of crossbows by able bodied hunters.however,they won't impactthe harvest of does at all.That's controlled by antlerless allocations.
Ibought a TC omega about 5 years ago with the intension of using it during Colorado's early muzzleloaderelk season.i ended up not going to Colorado so I used it here for two seasons and killed two deer with it.It was pretty anti-climatic killing a doe with it in October.Last year,I loaned it to a buddy and never asked for it back.With the exception of a couple older fellas,I dopn't know anyone that has hung up their bow for an inline.
from what i saw at dicks/gander mtn,many bought crossbows already and also in-lines.
here locally, the meat doe hunters wait for early in-line season.
i was shocked at how many old farts bought a in-line even tho they can hunt with gun for 3 days in oct.
why, because you can hunt for a week with in-line,just that little difference sold all those in-lines.
if it was easy to get deer ALL year, i think a lot of these different weapons would not be used.
but its not easy now and i know hunters that spent over 2000 dollars just on weapons, in-lines/crossbows/flintlocks.
they are same hunters i sdat with and said.
HEY SPROUL,I SHOT 32 GROUSE LAST YEAR ROAD HUNTING,BOY DID I GET MEAT LAST YEAR.
well my answer was, HEY ROAD HUNTER BOY,HOW MUCH GAS DID YOU USE TO GET THOSE 32 GROUSE,TURKEYS ARE 99 CENTS A PD AT BI-LOS AND I ESTMATE YOU COULD HAVE BOUGHT 69 TURKEYS FOR WHAT YOU SPENT ON GAS
you should have seen face, thinking in his mind,thinking, thinking, thinking,
well, they dont think at all,he thought he was paying for his license and getting free meat.
real KNOTHEADS
