"If every anti crossbow hunter used traditional bows and wanted the compounds put in the gun season as well, I could see their point."
Wouldnt' bother me. I use my bow for both seasons.
It refers to trying to keep other potential hunters out of the woods during archery season. My point is, if its not a greed thing, why do you care if certain weapon, that potentially brings more hunters into the season, becomes legal?
Honestly, what "other" hunters is it going to bring to the woods? I can see if someone cant' physically draw a compound.... maybe. But how many are we talking about that would bring to the woods? I would say it would draw existing gun hunters that are too lazy to do the leg work needed in bowhunting into the woods during bowseason because it would be "easier". They already have a season for hunters like that. It's called gun season. So yeah put x guns into gun season. It's all the same. Sorry i'm not one to sugar coat it with Politically correct BS. I just call it the way I see it. I also comment on what I've already heard from some such hunters mentioned above and that's the impression I got.
