That being said, I don't think full inclusion will have any harmful effects on the herd at all because the successful crossbow hunter harvests will offset the kill that would have happened in the firearms season. Time will tell.
One more thought. Going back to the Alt days, when we had to swallow a week of inlines and 3 days of Jr/Sr in order to take out the does earlier in the season to save food for the remaining herd, this full inclusion crossbow season SHOULD fit right into the so-called deer plan biologically. Not?
Just wondering......
