Crossbows for the disable hunters I agree 100% matter of fact give them a day, but a crossbow season for the general hunter that is bad news. How many seasons are we going to have in NJ? The deer are hunted for 6 months, this puts alot of stress on them, and we all know that the herd are out of control in places where the hunters can't hunt or are limited. So with that said I say no to crossbows, no to any firearm hunting after the new year, no unlimited antlerless hunting, and all deer hunting should stop January 31st

I dont think guys should NOT be allowed to use crossbows, just not during bow season. Use one instead of Shotgun or Smoke Pole during those seasons if you would like. I dont see why you cant use a less powerful weapon during a season if you choose to make it more of a challange. Whats the harm of using an Xbow during shotgun week if you want?

I agree with BOWHUNTERCOP 100%. What really cracks me up about it is why crossbows to begin with? Hunter participation? Don't think so, someone who has influence in the F&W dept, you bet? They crack me up, the F&W can pass a law in a week forusing a new weapon that in past years was the devils pitch fork but let a good law like the Sunday bowhunting one sit for years! It will be used in winter bow next year then the following year it will be slid into the regular season andI will bet my over priced taxes on that one!New Jerkey's new state motto -NJ......politics and you, not so perfect together,but hey we wrote the book on it BADABING!
