I really don't care what season crossbows are allowed in, what bugs me is that some people do! and for no apparent reason other than selfishness. The only logical way to find out if it will effect your state is to look at the states that do allow them during the archery season. I have seen no ill effects from those states have you?
You know, you guys jump all over me when I say "nobody is reading my posts" yet no one has answered this question.
I think Datamax, silentassassin, and myself already answered this one somewhere in the first 60 pages of this post. We hunt in Arkansas, where crossbows have been allowed for about 30 years and so far in that 30 years I haven't heard any hunters or biologists complain about it having a negative impact on the deer herd. The thing that has had more of a negative impact is hunters taking basket rack 6 and 8 point deer because of the 3 point antler restrictions in Arkansas.
