Crossbows or Handguns during bow season?

The use of crossbows, with all the current restrictions on them, except everyone is allowed to use one, OR the use of handguns with the current minimum barrel length and cartridge size restrictions, plus no magnifying sights, barrel length limited to 7 inches and no handguns designed to shoot a high powered rifle cartridge allowed. One caveat would be that people would only be allowed to fill their regular rifle tag using these methods, no OTC tags like bow hunters get. You would be limited by the type of deer and geographical unit unlike regular bow hunters.

The seasons are just fine the way they are. However, we can discuss this at the FBO get together on Dec. 3rd over a cold glass of liquid refreshment.

bobkat Joined: 12/16/2001 Location: ND	Neither. Crossbows ONLY if they were equipped with some kind of mechanical sight like a standard bowsite. Outlaw Aimpoints and elecronic sight nonsense like that. No scopes, either. Proper, less precise would go far to level the playing field between bows and crossbows.

Because I too, would like to enjoy the solitude, etc; without looking like a neon porn shop sign. And I have some doubt I could hit a semi (hee hee) truck within sensible bow range.

pennysdad Joined: 09/09/2003 Location: ND	dont want either but if i had to pic i would say cross bow. i think most the guys i know would just be wounding alot of deer with the handguns. empting a gun on a good buck . but i see why it would be fun to try using the same guidlines as bowhunting. only taking close range good shots and not hoping to pop and drop
