The fear is that too many hunters who dont have the confidence with a compound or traditional bow will head to the woods with a x-bow because of it's similarities to a gun and ease of use. If you took half of our current archers who rarely fill their tags and put x-bows in their hands and they start filling their tags on a regular basis. Then took maybe 1/4 of our gun hunters who decide to take up archery season because they can use a x-bow and they start filling tags regularly. Now your looking at a archery harvest of over 1/4 million deer to go along with nearly 1/2 million deer for gun season.[&:] Somethings gotta give! Either shorter seasons or fewer tags.
