Crossguns in the Pa bow season!!!!!!

<< < (4/9) > >>

 heck here in mn we have thousands and thousands of acres of public land. we have so many deer they allow bow hunting in some larger cities, thats right in the cities,
in areas around the mississippi river banks, less developed housing areas etc. even public land her can be very bountiful with deer all season long,bow season runs from early sept. untill the end of the year, and if one knows what he/she is doing you can nail monsters on public land.
even after they allowed x-bows during gun season,no major problem for bow hunters here. we generally give up those two weeks of the year on public land because of all the morons in orange that come out in masses for gun season here.lol

its more fun hunting after they are all done for the year. its usually much too cold for the average hunter out there in late dec.. if a person knows how to dress properly for the weather and the type of hunting that they are doing on that  day,and you've done your home work for the piece of land,well i say let them hunt with their damn x-bows, they dont hunt when real bow hunters are out.

Justin Snyder:
To use a cross bow here you have to be partially dissabled, not just a doctors note. The permit isn't easy to get even with the right medical forms.  Justin

El Destructo:
Here too Justin....the Laws in Texas sate...

ONLY a person with an upper-limb disability may use a crossbow to hunt deer and turkey during the Archery Only Open Season, provided the person, while hunting, has in their immediate possession a physician's statement certifying the extent of the disability.
An upper-limb disability is a permanent loss of the use of fingers, hand, or arm in a manner that renders the person incapable of using lawful archery equipment.

  Here in Florida, the club I belong to, Traditional Bowhunters Of Fl , lobbied hard and defeated it being used during archery season, unless you were truley handicapped. It is legal during gun season.

Ryano:
Tim, Pa used to have a ton of deer to and we probally have more acers of public land than Mn does. Our wonderful game commission decided about 5 years ago that we had to many deer and they were damaging the forests. So they opened a 2 week concurrent buck and doe season and offered double the amount of Doe tags in effort to get the "Buck to doe ratio" Back in check. Well they pretty much thinned the deer heard in the mountain county's to nothing. Still a few deer left in the farm land county but the national forest is desolate. The difference is the absolute numbers of hunters. If you've never seen Pa on the first day of rifle season you couldn't possibly understand. around a million on the first day of rifle season!  :o
