I'm sure this happens in many areas of the state....with many different weapons....but, isnt the idea to try to save does in areas where the numbers have plummeted? There are BOWhunters that dont like guns....there are gun hunters that dont like bows....I believe they(crossbows) are a tool and an effective one, but dont tell me they are the same as a bow....they are way to easy for joe blow to use....we could go on for ever on this..I'm done with the crossbow crap....lets concentrate on the DNR/the loss of deer mumbers and educating people that deer are not a endless commodity even though they are a renewable resource....now there is a conundrum....
"I would rather see him with archery gear"!!! Are you kidding me?!?!? I hope it was ME that you saw! I dare you tell me to my face "what you'd RATHER me hunt with!" I'll tell you I'd "rather" you move out of my "wheelhouse" before I break my hand on your face. If you don't like something fine. Don't tell anyone what they "should" do unless they ask or are on your property!

This argument is what is wrong with hunting! I've shot deer with every legal weapon type in Indiana. I am a DEER hunter. You Monday morning quarterbacks and wanna be biologist think you know more than anyone about anything! YOUR way is not the ONLY way! Your opinion is fine but don't be so arrogant to think Everyone else is for it.
