Even your 90% of the people that responded claim did nada, so some other majority has spoken, or the majority of some 900K+ hunters didn't feel threatened by sharing the woods enough to care about sharing and inclusion. Using that logic, not a low number from some 90% of people who responded, it made sense to the BOC to make a positive change for the inclusion of Xbow to PA hunting and starting a new hunting heritage. Over, done and out! I'm hunting w/ Xbow!
PLEASE tell me you are not so naive to believe hunter sentiment has anything to do with BOC decisions!!!! It shows you are an Out Of Stater to express such confidence in things you know so little about. We who are Pa residents and have followed and witnessed how PAGC policies impacted our game populations had absolutely no desire to have a new weapon implemented. The only demographics which showed a majority support for xbow inclusion was by those who had profit to gain- Manufacturers and the PAGC itself. As far as your opinion that this inclusion is a "positive" change this is a statement with no relative experience to back it up. Pa is not Ohio or any of the other state where Xbows are legal. Our state is unique and our deer population is so low that any change will have a greater impact than in areas where there are many more deer and many fewer hunters such as in Ohio. I love this statement... As far as "starting a new hunting heritage" you don't create a new hunting heritage, you preserve hunting heritage. Heritage implies "tradition" if you mean the new tradition of the PAGC BOC is tell the hunters to take a "flying leap" because they don't give a s#1+ what the majority of hunters want and they will always do what profits them most immediately than you support anything but tradition, heritage, pride and a sense of responsibility to those who the PAGC is supposed to be working for. In short you support policy that benefits few while impacting many others. hmmm where do we see that type of thinking??? Left Wing Liberal!

Those who are less than intelligent should keep their mouths shut so that they may be perceived as intelligent instead of opening their mouths and removing all doubt.
