I've got no problem with it.

If it gets more people hunting, that's a good thing.

Nobody is forced to use a crossbow. Everyone is free to hunt how they like, no harm in that. I'm sure the guy shooting a recurve with his fingers is making comments about how guys who shoot 70% let off, trigger releases, sights, stabilizers, whisker biscuits and such should wear blaze pink.

To each their own. The important thing is that people are out there enjoying the woods.

It doesn't. It just gets the same people hunting in the early season that would not take the time to learn to shoot a bow.

Sure there is. Running dogs can frick up a still hunt in a heartbeat

Jesus. Terrible analogy. Shooting a cross bow is closer to shooting a rifle than it is a compound
