What GREAT fun. Not sure what all the hub-bub is all about in legalizing them???

The hub-bub is about some folks wanting to force their way of hunting on everybody else , they're the same folks who "stole" your second buck from you just because they want statewide QDM whether you do or not .

Glad to hear that you had a good time , just imagine how much fun having one of your own would be ...

Yes, it is new. different and FUN.

I will be using his the rest of the late bow season.

I'll be buying mine before next season regardless of whether Indiana legalizes them or not. I hunt Kentucky and Ohio also so I'll get plenty of use out of it in those states. Then back here for late season.

If I could use it all of archery season here I would just stay home and hunt with it. That is until I killed a buck and then I would go down to Kentucky or over to Ohio.

I just didn't realize how much fun I had been missing out on.

Wasn't Illinois talking about legalizing them last year?

If their F&G department thinks that there's a buck to be had doing it then they probably will .

The 2006 models will be out soon. I looked at the Excaliburs and the TenPoints. Most places they are both on backorder. This stuff is getting very popular.

I hunt with a regular coumpound in early archery but if someone chooses a X-bow I am o.k. with that. I might even get an X-bow for late season someday. I think they should be legal in both seasons. It might get more archery hunters out there.
