Bug country, I see your point, but you are still missing my point. I will state it one more time. I don't care if your opinion outnumbers my opinion 300,000 to 1. In my particular state, crossbows ARE allowed in the regular archery season, and that is my weapon of choice, so you or Arthur or anyone else's opinion is pretty much Irrelavant. Don't tell me to use a crossbow in gun season. That is not your business. You don't write the hunting laws for my state. When they change the law, then I will consider buying a compound bow, or will hunt only in firearms season, until then I (and thousands of others) will continue to use a crossbow in this state.
