I forget the exact amount,but I think muzzleloader stamps doubled when inlines were legalized.It still didn't matter though because the allocations will determine the harvest.Crossbows are a different story because bucks will be legal.Without regulating the number of tags or hunters,that could potentially increase the pre-rut harvest,thus shortening the season.However,It won't impact the overall buck kill much because we're still killing the same percentage of bucks each year.Chances are,that buck that would be killed with acrossbow,would have been killed by someone with a rifle if it lived another month.It's all about preserving the intergrity of bow season and not jeopardizing it's length.

I had some perosnal issues this year with crossbows so I know where you're coming from on that front.I also share your disdain for roadhunters.
