This might be a good thread to add a poll on or has that already been done somewhere else?
I already hunt with a crossbow due to a permanent disability (Two surgeries for a wonky shoulder). My vote would be YES to allowing crossbows. The only difference between hunting with a crossbow and hunting with a long bow is that you don't have to draw before taking a shot with a crossbow. Everything else is basically the same in the way of how you have to hunt.
Maybe they should poll hunters to see if compound bows should be replaced with recurved bows only? IMO there is an advantage to hunting with a compound bow over a recurved but that's okay to do. Why not the advantage of a crossbow over a compound bow?
If it gives people more variety in the way they can hunt and more opportunities to hunt I'm all for it!
