Adding 30% to the archery kill in NH would require the reduction in the season due to our smaller deer harvest numbers. I see clearly now why they decided to allow them only during firearm season. 30% is a high number.
Wait a minuet here. You don't know it will add 30% to the archery kills in your state. You are using the same deduction reasoning that you dismissed us for using. How do you know exactly how much more crossbows will add to the archery kills in your state? You don't do you? You are not taking into consideration crossbows have been used for 30 plus years in AK. You think you will get the amount of crossbow hunters that AK has percentage wise in the first year it's allowed?
I don't know about your state but are you telling me deer populations are in the decline? seems like every other state they are in the incline. The deer population may demand the need for additional hunters in your state in the future and crossbowers could be the answer.
If you are going to use one states stats to bolster your argument then you must allow them to bolster ours....oh wait that won't be good for the anti's would it now. Because Arkansas is a prime example of ALL TYPES of bows existing just fine together.
