duffy..The idea of a special primitive weapons season may have some merit, but it doesn't directly address the issue of having crossbows included in the general archery season.
Those special seasons in Strathcona, Wainwright etc. really don't provide a solution. Many of us would just like to hunt with a crossbow in the area of our choice..during the regular archery season.
As to allocating a part of the general archery season for "primitive weapons",.. That may be stretching it. As I see it, is no need to further fragment the existing available seasons.
Just a simple change in definition is all that's reqd. .and not necessarily defined by P & Y.

The old thing about give & take I guess.
