RE: What to do with the crossbows.
That's what my sons also says, but I don't bother getting into a dicussion with him.
He only bow hunts the last ten year and here are some of the reasons. He says the weather is great and you don't have to freeze to see a deer. With the length of the season, you don't have to hunt when it is too hot or raining. He very seldom hunts that he doesn't see a deer and only hunts a few hours in the evening. He always sees buck during the rut, they might not be in range, but at least he sees them. He has a chance to get a nice buck before the rifle hunter.
I think theses are enough reasons to convince a rifle hunter to give the season a try. I haven't made up my mind yet on what I will do, but it sounds like fun except for the bugs.

You truly are amazing and a perfect example of why cloning of the human race shouldn't be allowed. You get all bent out of shape about one deer that was taken on private land, numbers taken based upon current years fawn. Yet you totally agree with hunters taking multiple doe on public land and practice what you preach.

"Gary Alt wore a vest due to some extremist whack jobs giving death threats. WCO's/DWCO's wear them because of the nature of the job."
I agree. Death threats arecompletely out of line. But it only showsour current state ofaffairs and huge level of dissatisfaction.
Its also understandable that wcos wear them, and I think yoiu knowwho I meant.
"I take it you would like to see anyonethat complains about the PGC, should be banned from this site."
Exactly that is the mantra over on hpa. Also, btb speaks of peoplebeing banned and know exactly why. Due to anti-deer plan sentiment. The "site" over there is famous for it.
As for "not playing well with others" all youneeddo, is punch on his profle and add up all the insults, smut and other argumentary posts and see thatit is the pot calling thekettleblack. He resorts to childish nonsense when people are making points, as a distraction. Then when they retaliate, he cries foul. Typical pgc supporter tactics employed by the same handful on every board on the internet.

I figure after archery season next year there should be some great buys on used X-Bows,once some of these guys realize this is not as handy of a tool as once thought.[:-]

what i think will happen the most is the hunters from areas that were legal to use bows, will come and hunt in wmu2g.
i believe that will be our biggest group we see,like camp with 8 hunters all using crossbows .
as for buying new bows, i dont know.
with early in-line season may be enough that they will stay there and not buy a 500 dollar crossbow, i dont know yet.
its not easy to get deer in archerywith all STINK in woods because of early oct in-line season.
so, you could be right in areas like WMU2G that have too much pressure for deer that are left.
this was TOUGHEST YEAR i had in archery in 47 years.

i also like warm hunting,this year was simply AWFUL.
problem is here in my area, just too much STINK in archery.
scouting for in-line season is my biggest problem.
i had my trailcamera out week before in-line season.
i had 11 different hunters walking scouting for the DOE MEAT WEEK...
you just cant hunt archery with this happening.
then they get to spot and take a leak..[:@]
or slam car doors[:@]
buck is not going to show himnself when this happens.
there should be NO EARLY in-line season.
use in-lines in gun season, THEY ARE GUN, USE IT THERE.[:@]

I think you could be right. The type looking for a shortcut will likely be disappointed.

This was meant as a ruse, right? Shooting a crossbow doesn't even come close to the skill and practicerequired to shoot a vertical bow. Just realize the limitations of the weapon and the variables.
