My father, who is disabled uses a crossbow. I personally do not see any other need for them during hunting season. It's basically a gun that shoots an arrow. I do not like them, and oppose to this ruling. Why do they feel the need to legalize them?

To me, its just another attempt for the game commission to make money. By forcing people who want to use a crossbow to buy a muzzleloader tag, they are making more money.

Buck Magnet, no these are not "our" deer, and anyone who thinks they are needs their head examined. I don't think that that term was meant to be percieved that way by Legacy357. But, I would be highly irritated to work hard to pattern and get close to a big buck only to have someone shoot it at 60 yards with a crossbow. Kind of takes the so called "sport" of archery away doesn't it? To me, its basically the same as shooting a deer in archery season with a gun illegally. Where is the sport in that?
