This is what seperates the two weapons.
Cool. As much difference as there is between a compound and crossbow 9regarding draw and holding weight - so is there evry bit as much, or MORE - difference between compounds and recurves/longbows. by your own definition of seperation, lets put componds into their own season, right ?
You are waaaayyy off base here, and you know it! Not even a nice try.

Obviously the VAST majority of state wildlife agencys agree with the above opinion, although a few, very few, have caved to the crying of late.
Thats driven by the PBS and their cronies, but times are changing.
I am pretty sure that these laws precluded any attention that may have been given to the matter by PBS.
You are correct though, times are changing. I can remember when children were respectful to the elders. Sometimes change is not a good thing.

If, and this is a big if, but if crossbow hunters are as a whole, MORE unethical in regards to shot placement, then we need to limit that mentality.
Can't be proved. I betcha gun hunters are THE most unethical group of them all.
Hey, you may have finally got one right!

Of course it would be very difficult to prove that crossbow hunters are less ethical than compound hunters percentage wise. I honestly hope they are more ethical, because we sure need a boost in that department.
Now, to the rifle hunter comment. Most rifle hunters are ethical hunters, I am sure you would agree. I will agree that the percentage of unethical hunters is higher in the rifle hunter category.
Why, because they don`t feel the need to practice, be dedicated, be a good hunter. Kinda like the mentality of the healthy crossbow hunters I know
