Bow hunters have extra time in the woods and they don't want anyone else joining them.
DING DING DING, Bob we have a winner!! What is his prize!!
Yep, I will admit it....I am selfish. I don't want to give up any of my long season, but crossbow would not make me give up part of my season. So it really don't matter, and I wouldn't care about sharing the season with somebody using a crossbow ethically.
