You mean those that you call selfish, greedy reasons, SA? Well, I don't let people just walk into my home because just because they've got two legs. I don't hand over the keys to my truck to everyone that's got a drivers license. I don't just give away my money to someone who simply thinks they need a little more. I don't see any reason for bowhunters to give away their season to any outside group just because they think they have some entitlement to it.

Who's next? Guys with handguns and iron sights? They're effective range is about the same as a bow or crossbow. Then who? Muzzleloaders? Their effective range is only a bit further. Then who? Well, 30-30's have about the same range as the muzzleloaders... etc.

As long as anyone is excluded there is going to be complaints. Only deal is, they are not excluded. If they want to hunt in bow season, all the heck they gotta do is get a freakin' BOW! Then they can hunt in bow season. What's the problem with that? Then when the season comes in that they can use their other weapons, crossbow, shotgun, muzzleloader or rifle, then they can use them.

NOBODY is being excluded. NOBODY is being turned away. EVERYBODY is being offered exactly the same opportunity, only with a special dispensation for the handicapped to use a crossbow.

Surely that's not such a difficult concept to come to terms with, is it??
