I can't see how the "real" bow hunters find that to be fair to anyone wanting to use an x bow.
Bow hunters get what 2 months to hunt before rifle season?
Why not cut that by a few weeks and let xbows or primitive weapons at it for a few weeks before rifle season?
Is that too much to ask?
And no I don't own a x bow or muzzleloader but wouldn't mind some day......

Here is where you have it wrong.

Hunters get to hunt with a bow, a rifle, a shotgun, a primitive weapon, a crossbow. Hunters can hunt with any one of these tools.......some offer additional seasons. It's not about bowhunters its about hunters who pick up a bow. If your just trying to screw with the bow season because you can't be bothered to pick up a bow then you're just trying to get something without putting anything in. Sort'a like wealth redistribution. I like that analogy lol. Do you think I can get a better house by complaining? I don't think it's fair that anybody has a nicer house than mine.........
