This afternoon at the AFGA conference SRD announced that there will be no special crossbow season in 2011.

At the end of hunting season there was a hunter survey sent out to Alberta RELM users. The last question had to do with if you were in favor of having a special crossbow season before the regular rifle season.
The results were as is:
37% Yes
44% No
19% Neutral
1. Probably. But they were assisted by other hunters too..

2. In your estimation, yes.

Hopefully they leave it alone now for a few years..

I have nothing against Crossbows but dont feel they belong in the Archery season and would like to see them have a season of there own..

I plan on buying one in the future but will be content to hunt with it during the General rifle seasons...
It's just like the Quebec "never endin' referendum" isn't it. They lost the battle, they lost the fight, but they don't give up...
