I don't particularly care for crossbows but I'm not really against em either. That is, I'm not against looking at letting them in once we are sure that it won't step on ANY existing group or season as it now stands.

Bt- how was a wrong righted? What’s wrong w/ giving more opportunities for hunters? Or is it you don’t want more hunters out hunting “your” rut? I thought the BOC and GC wasn’t to make decisions based on public opinions, thought it was more for science for the wildlife and better hunting opportunities for hunters. Or do we change our stance when it comes to more people hunting the rut? So for now on when new members come into the BOC do they need to take a revote on everything from the past year or should it be the last two years?

That comment is nothing but greed. I hunt grouse so maybe I should fight to get rid of all bow hunting because bow hunters are stepping on “my” season.

Give me a break

Let me guess some of you anti x-bow people would be okay if x-bows where allowed if it was only for doe hunting? It’s when you think that others will be out hunting “your” rutting bucks is when the problem steps in.
