Unless it is coming from someone that hunts with a homemade bow and stone arrowheads, I dont want to hear from these bowhunter elitest. Today's compounds are a far cry from a "primitive weapon". Recon what they would say if I got a connected CAB member to pitch a proposal for shortened archery season for those with compounds and leave the rest of the season for recurves??

Not a crossbow fan and I'd go with the 45.

When crossbows were first allowed to be used during the regular archery season, I wasn't too keen on it just because it meant having to deal with more folks in the woods (ditto for the week-long muzzleloader season in November). I got over all of that. Now, as long as a person follows the regs/laws, it doesn't bother me anymore what they kill, what weapon they use, or when in the season they kill them. Sure has made deer season a lot more fun.

From the article: ... And, yes, Im very self-centered in this respect. I dont want to share, at least not with those who have much less time and effort invested. Crossbows remind me of in-line muzzleloaders in this respect: Scoped, saboted, 200-yard weapons applied to seasons established with primitive cap-and-ball capabilities in mind. ... He doesn't have to worry ... he won't be sharing a lease with me anyhow, and it's none of his business what we use on our lease to hunt with. Hunting is not a privilege to be earned. It is a God-given right that is recogized by the people of this state in our state's constitution. People like him who can't be happy just going to the woods and minding their own busness while they enjoy their own liberty and freedom need to get a life and leave the rest of us alone to enjoy hunting. We don't need them any more than we need any other liberals who want to restrict our freedom in all sorts of ways they can dream up.

And that's exactly why I'm an advocate of just having a "deer season," and letting hunters decide what weapon they want to hunt with. Get over all these "special weapons" seasons, the only purpose for which are to provide a few people with more exclusive hunting time.

The *only* problem I have with crossbows is that we've probably had 5 times more deer injured and lost with them than with compounds on our club. I've talked to several people with similar stories. A lot less misses, but a lot more deer running away, never to be seen again with a bolt in them rather than an arrow. I don't know if it's because people are taking longer shots than the should with the crossbows, less concentration on making a good shot, older/younger (than the normal bowhunting crowd) people getting out there with crossbows, or what...but it's a fact on our club.
