Jim I sold them at Cabela's;) Trust me I know[8D]

I'll never forget the guy who bought two arrows on Sept 30th, season opens Oct 1st

"I need two arrows, one for practiceandone for hunting" [8D]
I shot exactly two arrows last fall also,same scenario one just to see if I could, and one at a buck.


And I didn't need no stinkin Xbow to get it done,either.;) :D

Where are you going to find 1000 virgins ???;)
Best bet is Arkansas![8D]
Afraid not ..... state law mandates that virginity must be lost to get a drivers license or you get deported to an area North of the Mason Dixon line..... for being too ugly.:D

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?
nah...try to prove you are right.:D

I'm not saying a thing about crossbows. I refuse to enter the fray.[&:];)

When we stick to the facts and data avaible,
Gary....that's just it....there can be NO stats or data available.....until it's implemented in that state. Anything you cite from somewhere else only proves it worked in that state.

I guess what these guys are trying to say is....they'd rather use common sense and foresight.....rather than "take somebody's word for it" from afar.

As far as I'm concerned....sitting here at my desk in NC.....I'm not sure it would be a big deal to deny you guys in MI the right to dove hunt. How's that working out for ya? No big deal, to me.

(the above was said tongue in cheek. I'd be pissed if I were you;). I love shooting grey rockets)

Sure

I did a study of Ohio, although states are NOT the same. I looked at the similarties between the two and used data.

There is a difference of 2% between the succes rates.
We have about200,000 lest hunters in both seasons
We have about 500,000 more deer
Ohio has OBR
MI has two bucks limit

last time I looked Ohio had 420,000 gun hunters, MI had 665,000. Ohio has 210,000 archery hunters, MI has 330,000. Both 2 to 1.

Ohio right now even with more than half archery hunters using Xbows cannot kill enough deer.
If I would have seen negative data for Ohio or where it hurt the herd I would be against it.

Jeff is correct states are different, so the law makers in each state need to look atit.

Right now in MI we cannot kill enough deer, adding another 50,000 won't hurt IMO. Being the DNR approved of Xbows in MI, I see no reason not to allow them. If the DNR of MI would have stated "Too many deer being shot" or any negative affect on the deer herd I would be against it.
