RE: Opinions on Crossbows
when 1 person can produce 1 neagative to allowing crossbows in every general archery season for everyone I'll be shocked and amazed until then, its elitism and selfishness, nothing more My only problem with crossbows FOR PA is the slobs that we will increasingly be subjected to. anyone ? anyone with a FACT to support no crossbows in general archery ? anyone ? |
RE: Opinions on Crossbows
ORIGINAL: Arthur P Problem is, a slob is a slob, no matter what weapon he's carrying. Nobody likes 'em and everyone wishes they'd stay the heck at home. I think it's very possible you'd see more deadheads heading to the woods with a crossbow, for maybe a year or two. A lot of people will fall for the half truths and outright fabrications coming from the anti-crossbow side. But when they find out they're not the wonder weapon that so many think they are, they would disappear and there would be a lot of used crossbows for sale. Don't get me wrong, if I ever succumb to injury or whatever and I can no longer pull a compound/recurve etc, I'll take up the crossbow but with me comes the experience and education I have from using the former. Unfortunately, and as Jim said, our rifle seasons are embarrasing to true ethical hunters in PA. If I didn't love and have the passion I do about bowhunting, I could easily be swayed against hunting because of what I witness year in and year out during rifle seasons. It's that pathetic come the Monday after Thanksgiving. |

Dunno what to tell you Rybo. If you've got a ton of deer onnearby public access ground, then it sounds like you are in pretty good shape compared to some other folks. Sorry you gotta deal with more of a crowd than you want, but that comes withhunting PUBLIC ground.If permitting the crossbow means that the crowd increases by 11.23%, then its time to find less crowded spots. Keep in mind that lots of other types of hunters had to make space for the bowhunters when they really hit the scene in the 60s and 70s. Now, its you fellas turn to move over a bit.
Shultyz: I don't bowhunt. |

RE: Opinions on Crossbows
Rob/PA Bowyer do you know HOW many deer are wounded/missed/lost with compounders every year ?
tens of thousands, a STAGGERING ammount and right here, every fall " I stuck one and it got away" threads will be here by the dozens, NOT crossbow hunters, compound hunters. slobs are carrying compounds by the thousands, how are you addressing that ? |
