I do know it is you rich(209), I am not looking for a fight just do not agree with crossguns in archery seasons. Ask anyone from the provinces that allow crossbows in archery seasons, or BC that has very limited archery seasons, they all would love to have what alberta has!
Crossbows in the bowzones will not increase harvest #s, Its not that archers can't kill does, they just don't do it! (same as rifle zones)Secondly it is more not being able to get permission, than the weapon used!

As far as deer numbers in the edmonton bow zone they are down and people numbers are up! (at least where I live)
I also do not see how allowing crossbows will increase hunter #'s, these people already hunt with either bow or gun, or crossbow in the legal season already in place, allowing crossguns into archery seasons will not bring out a bunch of new hunters!

I guess I can put a comparison to flyfishing, bowhunting is like no bait, crossbow is like using worms! Make sense!!
No way is better than the other just do it where it is legal!
