RE: Forum Behavior
I think this is a pretty cool post, I am assuming by competition you mean the space taken up by a hunter, not the weapon.
ORIGINAL: Leafrivermac Poachers will use asny weapon to poach with and the only consideration of choice . . .if indeed there is any consideration is "will using this particular weapon get me caught"? I'm not a crossbow hunter and prolly never will be because at least for right now it just does'nt appeal to me. However if I were a poacher , I don't think a crossbow would be my choice for several reasons including trying to shoot the thing out of a window, possibly having to track him at night in an area that most likely I'm not supposed to be. From what I've seen most poachers will use a shotgun or rifle late at night, way of out in the boondocks, and hope for the best. Plus, it's mighty popular to hunt the moon with a high powered rifle with a good light gathering scope. Basically, to be honest the biggest reason most bow hunters IMO speak out against the crossbow is because it represents more competition in the woods in an otherwise low competition season. I know that if it came down to a vote on my part in my state, that would be the only incentive I would have to vote against their use. . . .but it won't, and I don't let it bother me. |

NOW in comes the crossbow, disabled, ones that dont have time,ones that could never shoot a bow recurve or compound.. this put MANY hunters in woods when us recurve hunters had place all to ourselves.. this is why i get HATE looks when i shoot in a crossbow at our club..they look at you like you are on welfare, low life,lazy dirt bag.. be in all reality, that look is THIS.. its look of , THERE GOES ANOTHER HUNTER IN MY AREA THAT STANDS AS GOOD AS CHANCE AS ME TO GET THAT DEER.. i blame DCNR and PGC ..they reduced deer to these levels where you have many hunters after a few deer.. i even got threaten in my hunting area i was in for 42 years..i was told to leave, they were there first..i got news for them, no one is chasing me away after hunting in that area for 42 years.. i dont chase anyone away and no problem with anyone hunting there.. its not CROSSBOW THAT IS HATED ,ITS MORE COMPETITION IN WOODS FOR DEER THAT ARE LEFT.. i dont see it getting any better soon..head of PGC slipped of his tongue and said,MAYBE IN 20 YEARS WE WILL THINK ABOUT BRINGING DEER BACK TO PA.. |
