If the crossbow proponents win? I dont wish this very often but if they win I sure as hell hope you guys are right and I'm wrong!
Well we are though I think the majority of you (as you pointed out) are going to be to harded headed to admit it either way.
We really don't need anti-hunters when we have hunters lobbying to keep other hunters out of the field. jacko thinks I am stirring the pot but I don't have a dog in this fight other than my future hunting rights and if you'll notice I didn't get in on this thread for quite a while because I didn't feel like arguing this again. At the end of the day all of you guys can do is point to your personal preference and the fact that a crossbow is shouldered when it's shot. Yet we pointed out several upsides that are also upsides for hunting in general. In my opinion, and obviously several of the Game and fish divisions around the country, your opinions are harmful to hunting. I have been on the same side of the coin that y'all are on the only difference was I had enough sense to re-evalute and take personal preference out of the mix and look at what was best for hunting and hunters in general and admit that I was wrong. All that you guys have won by becoming stronger in your convictions is to help drive a wedge between hunters and to admit that you are going to openly lobby against other hunters (wish is precisely what anti-hunters do) and drvie people away from the sport that may potentially be the future. I don't blame you guys. I would be patting myself on the back as well.


[:'(][&:][:@] you guys aren't hurting anybody by refusing to listen, but yourselves. I'm just trying spread some education and keep you guys from making a mistake. Hopefully the game and fish departments will leave it out of your hands and make the right decisions and your opinions won't matter anyway.
