Well, thing is, people in states WITH crossbows have magically discovered their legality doesn't effect their deer hunting at all. And no one at the state capital cares - its the G&F heaquarters that might

Dang, I go work for a couple of hours and you guys have three more pages!

Datamax,

If you think that no one in the state capital will get involved with wildlife issues, look to a couple of months ago when the Arkansas Legistlature sent a non-binding resolution to the AGFC stating that they shouldn't do anything to limit or outlaw hunting deer with dogs. If you think this thread is long and heated, you should have seen the one on the Arkansas Hunting forum about that. The only thing that everyone on that thread agreed on was that it was dangerous for politicians to start telling AGFC what to do. I don't know how you and silentassassin feel about dog hunting, but the dog hunters have a strong lobby. I hope we don't have the same issues in the future with the crossbow vs other bows non-issue.
