RE: Crossbows introduced for regular archery season in PA
ORIGINAL: bluebird2 I could support crossbows statewide only if solid evidence can be produced from area 2B (where crossbows are now legal in the general archery season) showing that hunter numbers theharvest did not change in such a proportion that could become a threat to season length in the remainder of the state. 2003-1,740 2004-2,140 2005-2,720 2006-2,910 In an increasing herd I don't think those numbers represent a significant increase due to x-bows. A 70% increase in kills, since their inception, IS quite high. Even more so when you assume there are less legal bucks because of AR as youclaim. |

If crossbows became legal in 2004, it would seem that the fears are confirmed. That's the year when the kill jumped substantially Since this is only a total archery kill, it doesn't mean it's from crossbows but the report cards do differentiate crossbows from vertical bows and the PGC has the tools in place to evaluate the issue. Maybe it's time that they use the info they ask for to help put this very divisive issue to rest one way or another |
RE: Crossbows introduced for regular archery season in PA
I'm coming up with approx. a 70% increase from 2003 numbers to 2006.

RE: Crossbows introduced for regular archery season in PA
1740 x .70 = 1218 more
1740+ 1218 = 2958 total |
RE: Crossbows introduced for regular archery season in PA
ORIGINAL: livbucks I'm coming up with approx. a 70% increase from 2003 numbers to 2006. 2910 is 167.24% of 1740 Your way... the correct way to measure the increase 1740 is 59.79% of 2910 The way I did it. This would be correct if trying to measure a decline and not an oncrease... MYBAD!! |

BTW,
Our little discrepancy above is exactly why we have to question everything we get from our ole friend deaddeer;) Aint it amazing how much you can change a picture just by swapping a few "facts" |
RE: Crossbows introduced for regular archery season in PA
Well, sorry but, it's worse than you thought.
Do you feel better or worse, Bob?? Haha |
RE: Crossbows introduced for regular archery season in PA
Forgve me for demanding a link for proof, given your past history deaddeer but for now, if we assume they're accurate.... A larger number each and every year and a 40% overall increase over 4 years sounds like a pretty large increase to me |
RE: Crossbows introduced for regular archery season in PA
Your numbers have been proven wrong all to often. It's not my job to help you prove yourself right when you occasionally post something without distortion. You've earned the right to be called upon for proof on anything you post.
Once again, you dodged the real response and got off topic. an increase of almost 70% in the kill after the xbow was legalized for the regular archery season in 2B pretty much closes the deal for me till documentation from a CREDIBLE SOURCE proves otherwise |
RE: Crossbows introduced for regular archery season in PA
We are all capable of being corrected on our info. The difference separating us is who will admit they were incorrect and that one guy who hath changed thy name 20 times.
