I'd intended to forget this idiocy, but nitro's remarks demand a comment.
all of you all are like little kids. we are all deer hunters and love to do it so get over it !
We're all deer hunters and love to do it, so get over it. Since we're all deer hunters, then we should ALL of us be lumped into one free-for-all general weapons deer season. Is that what you're saying, nitro?
That's what we've got in Texas, after our October bow season. That's when you find out who REALLY wants to hunt with a crossbow... or bow, for that matter. During general season, I see a few other bowhunters every year. Over the past 15 years - since they were legalized - I've only seen ONE crossbow hunter.
But as far as bow season goes, you're right. It IS like a bunch of little kids in the neighborhood sandlot. Everyone wants to play baseball, but one sniveling little brat wants to use a soccerball instead of a baseball. When everyone else says no, then the brat goes crying to mama. "They won't let me play with them! WAAAAAHHHH"
That's the mentality I see. Same mentality I saw over P&Y's letoff issue. P&Y got tired of listening to the bawling. The crossbow crowd is hoping to get the same results from the game commissions.
