Why do you keep pushing the one weapon thing anyway. Are you just going for a dramatic effect or what? Adding the xbow does not change the seasons at all. Where as the gun season would. Some states do it but most can't support a 3 month gun season. Having a guy shooting an arrow sideways or up and down changes nothing.

Like I said before...the number of deer taken has little effect on the total kill. Last year we had 113,585 deer killed and 1,396 were with a xbow. Around 1 %. Almost no difference. It will not shorten the season any. Ours keeps getting longer because we can't kill enough deer as it is.You also forget hunter numbers are sliding in most states. If we don't keep hunters we will lose the battle period. But hey you will always have the memories of your tradition you can tell your grand kids......

I know we have tossed this back and forth with no change so good luck this year and I hope you have a great season.
