rybohunter - Now you're coming around

Shouldn't bowhunting be about peoples choice and peoples challenges ? The TYPE of weapons I think should be regulated partially on how easy it makes the challenge and partially how those equipment choices effect overall success rate and kill and how that in turn affects the G&F setting of seasons and bag limits.

I think in an ideal world archery seasons would allow crossbows, compounds and recurves/longbows. IF the success of hunters is too high, IF the kill becomes too high then of those 3 groups find which one is causing the high stats that threaten the length or bag limit of archery season.

I suspect at that point, compounds and crossbows success and kill stats would shine like a beason compared to recurve/longbows kill/success stats. Seperate seasons then ? A reduction in equipment (like ban releases and >65% letoff) ? I dunno ... that situation has never happened to my knowledge, has it ?

Its seems so foolish to suggest banning a weapon that is really an inferior weapon in the field compared to a compound.
