NOTHING!

What if you catch it swimming across the lake, motor up to it in a boat and whack it with an axe while it' s completely helpless? Still the same animal but it' s how you took it that determines who will honor it.

I guess you' d enter that swimming animal in Axemasters.[&:]

Like I said above, the rule was put in place to make it harder for crossbows to worm their way into bow seasons. If you don' t mind the idea of having a dozen crossbow hunters ganged around your tree, then fine. Even though there are a lot of bowhunters on your side with the letoff issue, I doubt you' ll find very many of them that are in favor of being in the woods with crossbows. And they' re the ones that really confuse the dickens out of me.
