I too am one who did not want to really get involved in this great debate but the quote in the last post hits the nail on the head.
Shooting a cross bow in my mind, is not archery and does not belong in the archery seasons. Thats my opinion.
For the most part, the archery seasons are primarly in the rut seasons, particulary for Moose and Elk. The way I see it the people who are pushing for these new changes are people who want to hunt these same zones at these same times but want to have the easiest means (weapons) available. I'm not going to say one way or another that shooting a crossbow is easy but let all be very honest, it's nothing like shooting a compound bow or traditional bow. Again, all this is in my opinion.
