How much for the privelage to own one, with all the gadgets? I see Cabelas has the package for $899.99. Little pricey for me.Interesting new weapon though. If its legal to use, okay then. The choice to use is an individuals own opinion and desire.

Some struggle with its meaning. Should've probably used the word "choice" instead. There's less scrutiny that way.

Quote from: hotspur on July 22, 2016, 01:59:36 PMI don't mind one bit , I do understand peoples that are for and against it, if a product can be marketed and sold the states will allow it . Anything to generate funds and tax dollars. But it is still hunting this ill take mine easier crowd will still ha e to get out of the truck. I know many that have bought x bows and very few have killed with them. Just go further than a half a mile from the truck and all will still be the same.

I bought one for my father and uncle to use at the camp. They hunted with it some last year. Neither killed a deer with it to my recollection. I've only used mine on windy days where holding a vertical bow steady was going to be a rather difficult job and used it once during the late rifle season. Did manage to kill one with it in the late season but it was by no means a cake walk. I'm not saying that air bows belong in the archery season but it's certainly not going to make a large scale change in the demise of the deer population. Heck, back home, if they want to kill a deer, they're going to grab a rifle anyway. Find a place to make them legal and go with it. Personally, I think they'd fit in just fine during the general firearms and black powder seasons.
Quote from: Happy on July 23, 2016, 10:06:00 AMI agree with everything for the most part. Most poachers are gonna use a rifle. However around here we have a few known fellows that the DNR has been chasing that have been shooting deer from their vehicles with crossbows. Not blaming the crossbows cause they are merely the tool of choice. The poachers are the problem. I would feel safe saying if we could seriously curtail poaching then seasons could be a lot more liberal with what they could allow weapons wise. It's a tough battle and the DNR is seriously understaffed and short on funds. Poachers are thieves pure and simple. To selfish and lazy to play the game according to the rules. As far as deer are concerned a two year old is above average and if it breaks 100 inches then it well above average. I shot a small ten point last last year with a bow and dug a .22 bullet out of his neck.
