Seperate crossbow license and tracking. If the crossbow skews the archery harvest, shorten the season as needed for that weapon.
I respectfully disagree. At the risk of turning this into a another dreaded crossbow thread, I disagree. We are currently beyond the decision as to allowing crossbows or not allowing them. Like it or not, they are here. Now that they are here, they should be considered as archery equipment and should be fully included in the archery season. If the use of the crossbow is having adverse affects on the harvest then the lenght of the archery season should be adjusted. There should be no distinction made between the crossbow and the compound. I know that is not what you want to here and that you don't like it but, that is the way it currently is and I hope it remains that way. That is my opinion and you are free to disagree with it as much as you want.
