At first I was very resisitent to crossbows and crossbow hunting, but now, after reading this forum I may reconsider. My eyes are beginning to fail me, and the idea of a "scoped bow" seem mighty appealing. I MAY give one a try. If my buddies would forgive me.LOL

If my buddies would forgive me.LOL If they are true "buddies" they might rib you a little, but not hold an unlasting grudge. Crossbows are legal for all of the late season for anyone who wants to use them. That is for any deer, provided you have not killed a buck with another weapon. Crossbowing and crossbow hunting is FUN. Not a whole lot different than using a compound. I knwo, I've shot and hunted with recurves, compounds and crossbows. It is just another choice in an archery hunting tool. |

Funny how you talk of going to Cross bow at a time when I'm thinking of going to Compound bow. I've gun hunted and Crossbow hunted for many years and now I think it's time to try a nice Compound Bow for a while. Wanted to do this for some time and I'd like to get a few good years of it before any health or eye problems catch up to me. I agree with Woody, Crossbow hunting is fun.

If you're not quite ready for a crossbow at the moment this may be an option to consider . Do what feels best for you . |

Since I haven't taken my one buck so far this year I thought I would borrow my neighbors and give it try this late season.
Looks like fun.
