RE: crossbows
My concern is that the one day wonders will view it as an easy way to get an early deer. Any undedicated, unskilled buffoon can get reasonably good with a crossgun in 5 minutes. No problem with that fact by itself, but when it gets lumped into the same season with a weapon that takes a LOT of dedication and practice to hunt with I now have a real problem with it. I support the disabled using them. They have enough other challenges, but the crossbow doesnt belong in the same season with hand held/drawn bows for the able bodied.
I am not opposed to it getting its' own season, at least until the impact has been assessed.
