To further add to the discussion about outlawing compound bows.....What would you do if both compound bows and stickbows were outlawed during archery season and the only alternative was to use a crossbow? Would you still hunt in archery season?

Yep, The MightyMite would be out in the woods with me

Seriosuly though, if compounds and stickbows were outlawed for what I feel is an un-just reason, I would still take my BowTech MightyMite. Granted, I would only hunt my property, but hey, thats fine with me. I bet that a BUNCH of guys would be out in the woods with their bows.

Some people will argue that I would be " breaking the law" and breaking the law is " un-ethical" . But, how is it any difference between it being legal and not????

This is kinda like a wounded deer situation where you don' t have a tag, do you shoot it because it is the right thing to do, or you let it go on suffering because it is the " legal" thing to do.

So, to answer the question, yes, I would still hunt with my compound and not even care about it at all.

Nope. Crossbows suck.

You can' t hunt in a season that doesn' t exist. And no, I wouldn' t hunt in Crossgun season. [X(]

JRW got ya Frank. Was that supposed to be one of those zen type questions or did you just miss word it. If a bear shi^%s in the woods and theres nobody around, does it still smell. That one still confuses me. I mean, the bear would still smell it, but do you include the bear. I just dont know. Seems like theres many answers there grashopper. This is all way to deep for homey. Im gonna grab a beer and a lawn chair and set in the yard and watch the grass grow. Way to many deep thinkers here.

Not to argue the point but a crossbow is called a crossbow because it is part bow and therefore could be considered a piece of archery equipment. For argument' s sake lets use that presumption. This was not intended to be a thread to debate the use of crossbows in general but rather to determine if a person would use them if they were the only option during the bow season. If you choose not to accept that presumption then that is your choice.
