DPV ,
if your state allows you to hunt with a crossbow then do it . My state allows them for all to use during our Late Archery season , but you can only take does . So what ? I' ll take a nice fat doe over a buck any day , much more challenging to hunt since they travel in groups . All those eyes and ears !

Don' t worry about what anyone else says , hunt the way you want to . Dogs can be a menace sometimes , but you' ll just have to learn to live with them , or hunt somewhere that has none . I had my hunt spoiled by a coyote last Sunday , if he hadn' t been moving so fast he would have gotten a .54 ball up the chute !

Collecting stamps is certainly a worthwhile hobby , but I' d rather be sending a bullet downrange personally .
