I'm with Kwantes. Bring in the knife season. I just wrote a letter to Hunting magazine about this exact issue. I can't believe that this subject creates so many sore spots. I also can't believe that someone would say that their way of hunting requires more skill then another's way of hunting. I've watched video clips of guys making 1000 yard shots at targets and small varmints that I could not dream of duplicating even though I am a rifle hunter. I don't think that a skilled bow hunter would be able to duplicate that shot with a rifle either. That same rifle man might not be able to make a 45 yard shot with a bow of any type. We all choose to hunt in different ways. We practice the skills that will help us improve in the method we choose to hunt. We are all hunters. But to flat out say that one means of hunting requires more skill than another, come on. As I stated I hunt with a rifle but I would sure give a thought to a crossbow given the opportunity. Just my 2 cents.
