[QUOTE="bigcountryok, post: 1300154, member: 4368"] I would have to agree that last winter may have had an effect on the deer population, but I'm not sure it was a bad thing. If you are hunting public land, it never seems like there is an over population LOL. It's very tough hunting. As far as the xbow. 1) its not as easy as it sounds, I think that there will be alot of used crossbows for sell around Christmas time. 2) Most hunters IMO are lazy and won't stray more than half mile away from the road. If you are a hard core public land hunter this will probably work to your benefit pushing deer into the hard to reach areas that most successful public land hunters hunt. 3) I very seriously doubt that the deer killed as a result of x-bow use will be significant. Look at the difference between the number of deer killed during rifle season and archery season, and we still have a very huntable population. There is no way the kill rate is going to increase that much just because of the xbow 4) Are more hunters really a bad thing???? We need more hunters to preserve our hunting tradition and the world could benefit from the lessons that are learned in the woods. Good luck this year. WHACKEM AND STACKEM!!!!! [/QUOTE]
