Awe, geeeeez man, I LIVE here - I think I know how crossbows impact my state ! Most slob hunters I run across are compounders - by far.

Just because you live there does not mean you know the deer lost per hunter ratios for these weapons. Wow, data you seem to be full of all kinds of imaginary facts. I guess everything you encounter is representative of what is really taking place. I wish I or any other person on this board could claim that.

I am basing it on the fact that the xbow has been deemed by you, data and others as a less effective weapon than the compound yet many people out there believe it to be much more effective. This overestimation will lead to greater numbers of lost deer.

According to elk a 3 year old retarded chimpansee can shoot kill deer consistently at 100 yards with the crossbow/wonderweapon:eek::(;)

Reminds me a lot of you. At least he has the experiences to back up his "imaginary facts" unlike your pure unbridled speculation

There's a difference between intelligent speculation and the things you supposedly "Know".

I realize that and most of the time it comes from experience;)

Intelligent speculation ......... like say analyzing all the states and provinces in Canada that allow crossbows in legal archery season, finding the negatives of them (which don't exist) and then using normal reasoning to conclude that they'd destroy your states archery season if they were legalized ?

Kind like that "intelligence"

Seems like anyone wanting to hunt with a crossbow, at least in Texas, is free to do so.

OMG - say it IS NOT TRUE !! Texas deer herds will be slaughtered, there'll be so many people using them they'll cut the seasons - it will obviously RUIN deer hunting there in archery season !

What ? You mean its been like that for years ? Why ......... and no negative effects ?

What say you anti-crossbow zealots to Texas ??

You guys are hilarious. You are crying and looking pretty silly slamming everything anybody says negative about crossbows. I posted from the Texas regs showing how anybody who wants to use a crossbow is perfectly able to do so and have a longer season than archery. Why should crossbows be allowed an extra season or why not let muzzleloaders in with archery. You say how crossbows are more like bows than guns but at the same time you say how 2 young hunters would have been deprived the chance to harvest deer without the use of a crossbow because they couldn't harvest them with a compound no more than they could have with a recurve or longbow, yet they could have harvested them just as easily with a GUN as they did with a crossbow. Its pretty obvious to all reading that some people just can't stand compounds and will do and say anything to get their digs in. What are you looking for? Everyone to say how great you are that you shoot trad? Who are you kidding. Compounds weren't developed by some geeky computer guy who never saw the light of day. They were developed by archers who by far knew more about archery than you. Get over yourself and your trad bs. I never really gave xbows that much thought but now I would never be in favor of them just from reading all the bs from this thread.
