Bow or crossbow
low fence or high fence
rifle or muzzle loader
feeder or no feeder

All questions posed to create division

hunting is hunting, archery season is not called "difficult season"

I have hunted and killed with a bow, don't like it much. I will hunt with a crossbow but will probably feel the same about that as well.

there are light years diffrences between muzzle loaders of yester year and the TC's of to day. Some say modern ML's are "cheeting" what the F**K ever.

Hunting is hunting and any ban on hunting equipment is a foot in the door to banning hunting all together.

Discussions between oursevles is good but, a united public stance is vital to our future as hunters.

I say bring on the crossbows!!!

The arguments are a waste as the time for debate is over. The decision has been made and no matter what side of the issue you were on now that the voting is over it is time to hunt.

The Texas House of Represenatives? Absolutely.

The Senate? Absolutely.

The Governor? Not hardly.

Check the Org Chart.
TPW Org Chart

And most of the TPW Commission members were appointed by Rick Perry.

That makes alot of sense. LOL

Wow,impressive.I guess you're not a real redneck afterall.I dont even know how to do that linky thing. The fact remains there's only two chances of TPWD not implementing this law...slim and none,and slim just left town. After i've seen the animosity and divisivness from so-called bowhunters over this issue,I'm ashamed to call myself a bowhunter,and I been doing it almost 25 years.They really can be a bunch of hateful,snob,holier-than-thou elitist.

pass thru is right about that, shooting a bow is much harder than a xbow, now what i want to know for all u "im not gonna take the easy road" people, why dont u use a traditional long bow instead of a compound..... to me it osunds like yall are taking the easy road....

I have the most trouble getting drawn without being seen in most Texas applications due to lower stand heights and I'm not usually hunting a feeder. The fact that you have to have that much unseen movement it the harder part to me.

Not true.

The Governor signed the law, but it's not been implemented yet. For those of you rushing off to purchase your Xbow's, you may be counting your chickens before they hatch. I would wait until we see how this law will be published & enforced by the TP&W. Here's a link to their website where you can leave your comments on this topic.

Could be some looking for public sentiment towards crossbows in relation to any changes that might be made with WMA rules for crossbow usage.

Or maybe just TPWD's way of saying "don't blame us" making it known it was forced on them.

I also think that it is possible that a few more people will get involved in the sport that may not have otherwise. This is always good as we need more hunters to keep the sport alive and fund the necessary agencies.

But how many is too many, do we expect to allow the hunting population to grow exponentially with the human population, that won't work, with a growing hunting population and shrinking huntable ground due to increasing sprawl, is it any wonder that it is turning in to a money sport.

The main reason I like to bowhunt is that it weeds out alot of lazy ****** and allows me to hit the woods with a minimal amount of hunting pressure for a short time before the rest of the "hunters" start there season. Those days are over and you got one thing right, this is all in order to sell more archery stamps and increase revenue for the "necessary agencies".

This makes me sick to my stomach. If you are able to draw a bow, you should have to use one to hunt in October.

I never heard so much whinning in my life

awwww poor little Cooner is gonn'a get sand kicked in his vagina by all the "new hunters" during archery seanon. WTF

You want you own seanon, I'll call up O'l Rick and see if I can make it happen Pardon the rest of the world for encroaching on YOUR right to hunt.

The percentage of deer wounded will be minimal if it's as easy as you say it is, so that excuse is out. In fact I bet the number of wounded deer by first time crossbow users will equal the number of wounded deer caused buy first time bow hunter.

Good job buddy, way to support OUR, notice I left out the Y, rights to hunt.

that is the funniest thing I've ever seen on here...LOL I bet cooner is the first one in the stand on opening morning of rifle season too. All those dirty bastards around him shooting all his deer . Seems to me that anyone against the growth of Hunting is against what alot of us on here are for. Cooner...you mad that we introduce our children to the sport...takes away from your land and animal populations...right?
