Datamax, in MS archers get 2 additional tags!!! Therefore, the actual harvest could increase tremendously, depending on the involement of gun hunters with xbows. Worst case scenario, the 162,000 gun hunters each killed 2 extra does, the kill could increase by over 300K. Now that is very extreme but technically possible.

For instance, gun hunters now get 6 tags. However, archers get 2 additional, so we can kill 8 deer. I agree, in theory xbows would probably not effect our total harvest that much. However, I prefer archery season to be left to just archery hunters. We are already at a disadvantage and should have a head start IMO. Selfish? Yes! F
