It hasn't come down to conservation, what's best for the animals, getting more hunters in the woods, or the voice of the people--it's all about money. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong--show me where there have been any studies to show any benefits to allowing crossbows into the archery season.
I think it is coming down to conservation . deer numbers in some states are exploding and yep more need to be taken for the good of the animals.
And just who's getting the money??
You show me where it doesnt benefit having crossbows in the archery season!
