If people want to use a crossbows than why can't they use them during the general gun season when rifle, shotgun, pistol, bow, ML, crossbow and archery is legal to use. (Exceptions to this would be those with disabilities.) I don't understand how a person can put a cross bow in the same class just because they launch an arrow.
Part of my hunt is getting an arrow knocked at full draw without getting busted. When I am finally at full draw sometimes the animal may freeze behind a tree, therefore after holding for too long I have to let up and now I hope I'm' not busted again. There is a whole lot of difference in pulling a bow back and holding it than to casually pulling a trigger when EVER the shot may develope.
I just hope that this state doesn't want to include crossbow during bow season and I will let my bowhunters assiociation know how I feel about that. Thanks for the reminder, Bobby
