RE: What does everyone think of crossbows?
Theyre legal here during archery season for anyone with a deer licence. Half the guys I know that archery hunt use x-bows,, they dont kill anymore deer than the compound shooters.
Its tough hunting here with any type of archery equipment or firearm for that matter. If someone kills a deer with any type of bow or gun every year in this province(im not talking a good buck, but any deer), they are da^& good deer hunter PERIOD!
I kid you not,, I know of about 15 guys that deer hunt hardcore( most everyday of 2 different weeks of gun hunting a year, and 15-20 sits each for archery) yep usually very tag available gets filled between us (we are allowed to party hunt on our 1 deer tag a year). but alot of times 1 guy will go on a run and take 3 or 4 in 2 days of gun hunting. We dont quarrel about it, we throw the proper tag on it and get hunting again,, we have to work to fill our freezers. If its legal use it!
