Well I was just trying to get some info not really debating if the use of them is right or wrong. Fact is that even if you don't use one there willl prob be an obvious change after a few years. Im only about 10 miles from MD and work in MD, they've made it legal this year and I know a bunch of folks that dont bow hunt that will be Xbow hunting. Just the extra amount of folks in the woods is what worries me the most. One of the things I love about bow hunting is how few people are out there compared to gun season.
