Time and time it's been proven that crossbow harvest is right on par with vertical bow harvest in areas where both are permitted in archery season. Your beating an imaginary dead horse. There is no overall advantage that will increase harvest. It would be nice to see this issue debated on the facts but I doubt that's ever going to happen...........
Again I agree with you, but you would position your lanes accordingly, just like a right handed archer has no lanes at his 5 o'clock position(back right), it's a very difficult shot to take. Pro's and con's to both forsure.

I'm NOT debating the fact that they have similar harvest rates, just saying that technology behind crossbows makes it an easier tool.
