Fix: "Grab a bow, son.....let's go huntin'!"

Fix:

"grab a bow, Bill.....let's go huntin'"

Or during the specified crossbow seasons......

Fix: "Grab your crossbow, man.....let's go huntin'!"

I'm not selfish because I don't invite my gun hunting friends to come with me during bow season. I might be declared selfish because I don't WANT them to be able to hunt that weapon during bow season.....but we have bag limits and seasons set, weapon-specific for a reason.

Anybody thinks that's discrimination.....should move to one of the zones in SC that opens 8/15 for ALL weapons. A sharing man's utopia!

the P&Y club doesn't back me, I don't back them - its a happy deal - start your thread and I'll be there

well if you heard it, it MUST be true huh ?


FACTS guys ........ if crossbows are bad for hunting, negatives to hunting then would be seen in Arkansas, Ohio, Illionois (crossbows are legal for over 62 and handicap there), Indiana (late season), Maryland (over 65) SC (over 62 years of age) Tennessee (allowed in archery season) Virginia (archery legal) or Wyoming (legal) - Texas is crossbow legal too I believe and many states allow handicap use.

C'mon guys, IF crossbows are bad, surely ONE of the above states would have been impacted in some way.I know, they aren't PA but not a single reduction in season or bag limits because of them, not a single report of massive overcrowding ..... not once ? Best deer herds and hunting ever ....

That tells me there is no boogy man in the closet, crossbows are not a bad thing

hell yes, grab a bow! BTW compounds are not technically a bow, you know that, right ?

absolutely true - and adjusting those laws happen every year from >65% letoff to allowing sights, mechanical releases, mechanical broadheads etc etc. Adjusting to allow crossbows is another step and not a bad one, just differnent

Jeff is NC offically called bow season? Or is it Archery Season? I do not know of a state that has "Bow" season.
When Hillary turns ten she will be able to hunt with archery tackle. If I can get her shooting over 35 lbs she will use her bow, if not then we have to wait. If xbows are legal we will be sitting in a blind together hunting with Gramps 10 point Xbow.

Again someone please show me data where xbows hurt the herd for deer season? Anyone?

Jeff you have every right to write lawmakers at ask for what you did above. I do not disagree one bit. Again like most in this discussion you go right off the deep on.
If we start seperating seasons, well you know whatwe should, lets go off the deep end

From now on will have

Traditional season
Cross Bow
Compound

Gun:
Rifle season
Shotgun
Pistol

ML
Flint Lock
Traditional
Those things that are called ML, but shoot better than any shotgun

Since we cannot share the woods and hunt as hunters, lets make the split.

BTW that is how it sounds when folks say, let just hunt with any weapon[8D]

You still live in this utopia.....where you think all states are congruent. When you want to discuss the inland fisheries management strategies of OH and SC with me....we'll talk. Until then....comparing one state to another (with such differing logistics) is aboutthe "same" as saying Pamela Anderson and Marge Schott are both "women".

See what you did????!!!!! Now you got my biggest supporter all fired up! Now as King I have to throw a wild beer venison bash to honor my disgruntled friend we will sacrifice 1000 virgins in your honor!!!!!

Where are you going to find 1000 virgins ???

Best bet is Arkansas![8D]

lol, give up on 'big d' guys, he has been here, in one form or another,longer than any of you and he would put 'atlas' to shame in the bullheaded department. If you guys keep it up....I am looking for 60 pages come monday.

I still havent seen anything that would change my opinion.

I am pretty sure a bunch of hunters said an OBR with AR's would not work in PA also

When we stick to the facts and data avaible, there is no argument against Xbows in MI or any other state.

Please someone prove me wrong?
