Don't gun hunters give up hunting during the rut? [/b]
Not if they pick up a crossbow and keep hunting the rut.
Bowhunters fought crossbow liberalization for years. Gun hunters were quick to jump on the crossbow wagon to avoid changes to gun season. That very well could come back and bite them.
How long before the crossbow industry comes back to push this full circle? Afterall, it seems like the next logical financial move for them. They stand to sell ALOT more crossbows if general firearm season gets shortened and moved out of the rut. That's why crossbow hunting is so popular in Ohio....a short general firearms season that opens after Thanksgiving.
If/when it happens....pass the popcorn!
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
