yes here in ohio we've had crossbows legal probably longer than any other state and we have never had (to my knowledge) a problem with deer being over hunted. in fact our deer herd is still growing very well after 2 yrs. of record harvests. here in defiance county they just increased our limit of 2 deer to 4 deer this year. ohio has an excellent deer management program. and i also realize this is a great habitat state for deer which helps, but even so, once again we have an excellent management program. we also don't have all this bickering(unless it's about careless,unethical hunters). yes some still don't like crossbows or bows or shotguns or muzzleloaders etc.. they all have their own preference. if you are worried about over hunted deer your state should get/use a better management program. and yes i know some states don't have as good a population or habitat but as i just said......and for the sake of one of the arguements yes compounds and recurve takes a little more skill/work/practice- so what- we are all out in the woods for the same purpose no matter which legal weapon we choose. so you shouldn't be worried about and saying the crossbows will bring in too many hunters and over hunt deer when it hasn't even happened, and you can't say that it will. you don't have to like cb's but you will have to accept them when it's legal to use them. and as i said in my previous reply. if you want cb's to have their own season then don't cry and complain about how short your bow season is or when it starts/stops because you will hate that alot more. opc orn:
