".Here's why.This was eventually going to happen.Several legislators have been pushing for this for a long time.They most likely would have changed the language,dictating what a bow was."

They were unsuccessful all along, and they didnt pass this. There is no reason to believe they would have been anymore successful now than in the past.

"I'd rather the legislature stay out completely."

Well thats too bad for you. What you say makes zero sense. Its ok that pgc passed it because it prevented the legislators from doing the same exact thing first? Gee thats swell![:'(] Also having the governor and others pick the antideer commissioners who go against every thing the majority of hunters speak out on, which you apparently support isnt exactly better than having a few meddling reps. In fact its 10X worse!

"I doubt they'll be much of a threat on local game populations."

Coming from you that is little comfortDoug. Your antideer views are well known. And to youNOTHING is a threat to populations even in areas of the state where there are single digit dd! Not antideer commissioners...Not too many tags...Nada.

"Also,deer populations are still largely controlled by allocations.If that doe doesn't get killed with a bow or crossbow,chances are it will die from lead poisoning."

With the current number of doetags. I agree.

"Many of those pushing for full inclusion already hunted with crossbows and now they kind of bit their noses off to spite their face."

Ha ha ha. Yeah. pgc really showed them! (LOL) what a crock!!
