And based on the differences in arguments, its kind of obvious who the guys are that have the experience with naked gals[8D]
I guess that went right over your head....based on your reply

Understand where your coming from. No these werent the only people I have ever kicked off. However, it was 3 hunters 1 season 1 weapon. CROSSBOW. Left a bad taste in my mouth. I think it gives gun hunters more of a tendency to hunt archery. And if you live in PA you know (despite what the game commission tells you) there is no shortage of hunters! Drive past state game lands during gun season, sea of orange! GUN hunters and BOW hunters are a different breed to a certain point and in major ways. Nothing against the gun guys, more power to you. But I am sure they would like if I didnt gun hunt, and I like they dont bow hunt. Makes for better odds for the hunter. By all means use crossbow during gun season so you can hunt a little closer to dwellings or get permission to some private land. But do we really need x-bow hunters during archery????

YES I AM SELFISH and dont want x-bows open to all archery, unless warranted by handicap etc. I dont mind calling myself selfish. IMO crossbows are not a good situation for traditional bowhunters.

PS. Ive had plenty of naked gals. Look at me I'm a stud! Anyone got any tape? Because Im ripped!

I can blast the P&Y club all I want to. They are anti-hunting as far as I'm concerned with their anti-crossbow zealot attitudes. They are dividers, not representatives of anything but their own precious concerns, the epitomy of selfish IMO. At one time they had their purpose but today, they are on the outside looking in. They have failed, factions have splintered off, the club has torn itself apart in previous years. I've read much about it, I don't like the taste it left either. Their anti-crossbow stance WILL change, they WILL accept them eventually or they will die as an organization. Too many people have realized the idiocy of that particular pet peave stance over the last decade.
You ask everyone else for proof on what they say so lets see your proof on this matter!! I want facts, not BS!! Show me!!!! Lets see it!!! Back your talk up!!! Prove to me with facts they've done bad!!! I want to see facts saying they've lost a ton of members because of there stance and beliefs!!!

I guarantee Big D it would be much easier to show facts of the good they do rather then the harm. There isn't a perfect organization out there. There's always something someones not going to like, thats human nature! Whether you like it or not the P&Y club fights for your ass and your rights as a bow hunter. Yes Big D, your rights as well!! Your to selfish to realize that though I'm guessing.

Ill leave the numerical facts to the guys we pay salaries to with our tax money. Ill hold onto my personal experiences and Ill continue to stand behind my opinion. I am pretty sure the ****heads that tresspassed on my land with their couple week old crossbows were in wrong. Pretty sure the law says so as well. I stated my experience with the subject as everyone else did. You singled me out, congrats Ill send your trophy in the mail.

Yep to selfish to want x-bow hunters hunting my land.Also dont like the idea of them opening it up to theentire state.To selfish bc I have had a bad experience with it. So be it. Hope your mood gets a lil better smile its friday. No need to pick on "big D"

You blast away with those numbers, we in Arkansas still arent the ones crying......
This is like saying the onesin the gas chambers shouldn't cry. Its a little cooler on the outside, huh? "Let 'em drink lemonade".

After reading the guys' (Xbowproponentsfrom states other than PA)'sarguments (regarding PA).....it reminds me of a bunch of old MEN sitting around deciding what a woman's rights are are with her own body.

Easy for you to say, huh?
Kind of like a bunch of hunters decide what weapon is best for other hunters[:-]

Like I said PA and MI are similar. I would rather give my fellow hunters a choice. To me that is what it comes down too. If the DNR of MI is for it, and health of the heard is not harm. What is wrong.

Matt has made some points, but there is 0 DATA to back them up. It's all speculation on both sides
Since you say bring them on, and are so big harted, you opening up the farm to public hunting this season.

PABuckbuster12if they'd been carrying compounds you'd want compounds banned too then ?

Your experience was an oddity, of trepassing nature and they'd have done that with or without a certain choice of weapon

YES I AM SELFISH and dont want x-bows open to all archery, unless warranted by handicap etc. I dont mind calling myself selfish. IMO crossbows are not a good situation for traditional bowhunters.
Honesty, something this thread has been shor ton for sure.

You typed "IMO" - what is that opinion based on ?

Using your logic, I could say the guys shooting compounds who trespassed on my lease in Arkansas warrants banning compounds from archery season - true or false ?


You ask everyone else for proof on what they say so lets see your proof on this matter!! I want facts, not BS!! Show me!!!! Lets see it!!! Back your talk up!!! Prove to me with facts they've done bad!!! I want to see facts saying they've lost a ton of members because of there stance and beliefs!!!
I'm not switching subjects for you Shultzy - start another thread

For you yes
And a crossbow hunter has hunted and killed a deer on our farm

I am surrounded by gun hunters, so my stance may put more pressure on the deer I hunt, but to me more people in the woods is not a bad thing.

What I see happing is most of the compound(half) shooters buying an Xbow. Being the way most of them shoot, the deer will thank us[&:]

Is there anysound sciencereason in MI(PA jump in if you want) to not allow xbows in achery season?
Is there any reason besides "more people will hunt"

If someone can show me data where it harms the herd, and not their hunting, I am all ears.
