Guys, if its not a negative to herd management/numbers, if it doesn't mean less season and if it doesn't mean less bag limit, WHY in the world would you be for banning it? Look, compounds aren't even bows anymore, they truly aren't, and nobody draws in the presence of game anymore with compounds, and the letoffs are extreme, the distances shot extreme, mechanical releases and heads ........ good gawd hunters have degraded to the point if you don't have a feeder to draw the deer in, a 4 wheeler to get your lazy butt to the stand, mechanical heads so you don't have to tune your bow, a compound and mechanical release that lets you get 300 fps and 65 yard accuracy and of course a range finder to tell you how far you are away and scent lock clothes becuase you don't know how to play the wind .........
Do ya'll REALLY want to say crossbows breach a tradition here?
Seriously?
And that guy above I just described? He has NO impact on my hunting at all. His lazy way of hunting that I personally despise will not result in lesser season or less bag limits and if he wants to do that? GO FOR IT. Don't matter to me.
Only when what and how he hunts affects me will I then become concerned and look at all the states that have crossbows now, including the ones like Arkansas that have them over 3 decades and NO NEGATIVE IMPACTS AT ALL because of them
You're fearing an old P&Y wives tale that is simply not true
Ranger 77 you said well!
Live it up! Doug
