Please. You are not better than a crossbow hunter. You are not. Neither am I. A man in the woods crossbow hunting for the 1st time has a HUGE challenge on his hands. Don't belittle the hunters who choose differnt weapons. If you do, perhaps its YOU who needs that mirror ?
I am not saying, and niether are most here that Crossbow hunters are less thasn Bowhunters. Just not the same, only different.
I predict in the coming years ALL states will aloow crossbows as compound become more and more high tech. P&Y will eventually cave in and allow a crossbow category.
Well I guess we'll have to sit back and see. History sems to suggest that most states have recently reviewed this option and most aren't changing. As far as P&Y allowing Crossbows, well I'm not so sure that is going to happen.
When this happens - and deer hunting is as good as its ever been with more big bucks killed than every before .......... what will ya'll say ?
Well it certainly is getting to that point, but what you kill a deer with doesn't really matter. I happen to think for some gun hunters who will no longer be allowed to use ANY firearm, the crossbow will become their only option, and may raise it's popularity as a hunting weapon. Especially near popluated areas .. but I still think they'll manage it as a firearms type season, seperate than archery. Who knows, I may be wrong. We'll see though. One thing I don't think you have factored is the decision has already been made in many states, like mine. They just got lumped into firearms season. A bum wrap to be sure, and I do think they should have recieved their own season, but they'll be there for a while I'm sure of that.
