WI xbow season

Re: WI xbow season
I will say that some companies can be blamed, but the bigger problem is the So Called Traditionalists. These crybabies cause more problems than anyone else. Realistically in most States the success percentage for archers is like 8% for many reasons. The vast majority of licenses sold are to folks that hunt public land. Scouting is pretty much a joke to be honest. It's PUBLIC LAND. On opening day who knows where the boys with Climbers are going to wind up, and the last day before season opens, stands pop up everywhere. Then you have the lost guys stumbling into your honey hole, and then the guys that just cannot sit still. All of this has an effect on deer movement, yada, yada, yada!
The problem then erupts with the gunners that only gun hunt, they see some big boys taken with bows, crossbows, and freak out every year. Some states have an early muzzle loader season, and the rifle hunters cry about that too. The real challenge is on the States to propose minimum points, antler size, and buck harvests per hunter to get that big buck available through regulations on the little guys that get killed every year. Additionally, the states should really understand who is taking the most deer, and provide them more opportunities to thin the herds in heavily populated areas, and over more opportunities to hunt Urban areas that are over populated with bows, crossbows, and spears if legitimized.
JMHO!

Re: WI xbow season
year before last 2 days before ml season i was bow hunting with a hoyt carbon spyder. well at the end of the day when i was loading my gear back in the wrangler i noticed a mini van parked next to me (public land). a hunter comes out of the woods with a Remington 870 all in camo gun to. that's a good month from shotgun season and land hes on is conservancy land deer only. i couldn't help but ask what season are you hunting? his answer was go puck your self i have had it with all the bow hunters getting the big bucks first. he had a gun i had arrows so i just said nothing and left. that night it bothered me figured i mite get shot with buck shot or some other hunter in low light condition by the guy. day later he was back funny thing the warden was waiting for him just at dark never saw that guy after that

Re: WI xbow season
^^^ Strange coincidence that the warden would show up right about then.

We have an 800 number for game thieves. I would have tried to id him or his vehicle and reported him. As a side not I am almost always armed so his shotgun might not work out too good if he thinks I'm unarmed. Good on you for standing up for what's right...

Re: WI xbow season
Pure jealousy and greed. That is all it is. And the way to fast advancement of the crossbow. I will be attending and voting NO.
Re: WI xbow season
The good news is that the WI DNR Spring Hearing results are in and the question aiming at restricting the WI crossbow season was defeated statewide by a vote of 3164 NO to 2660 YES.
(54 counties NO, 18 counties YES)
While it is a crossbow win for now, this will continue to receive pressure.
It seems to be driven by Natural Resource Board member Greg Kamierski, who apparently wrote the question and is clearly opposed to crossbows.
This guy will not give up.
And oh yeah, he owns an archery shop in Waukesha and along with vertical bows, sells those evil crossbows.
Go figure.
Here's a link to an article about the issue, the crossbow discussion is in the middle of the article (written before the results were in):

"The Midwest's bowhunting and CROSSBOW Authority".
Scroll halfway down on the face page where it says they won't be undersold on any bow or CROSSBOW.
But the owner wants to restrict the crossbow season and wrote the question promoting exactly that.
Where are the crossbow manufacturers?? HOW can they support this shop??
On one of their website pages it indicates they sell Excaliburs, Ravins, Barnett, Stryker, Mission & Tenpoint.

It seems like we won the first step and now we have to see what the Gov. and the DOC says.

Regardless of Monday night’s vote, it was put on the agenda for the meeting this morning at 8:30am in Madison which will have no public input! They just won’t give up!

Kaz is such a tool! They lost again! They will come back in two years with nothing just like last year and this year! He was trying to skew the numbers trying to make himself and the WBH look good but it didn’t work because people can actually READ! See them clowns in two years again! For now all hunting seasons stay the same for at least the next two years.
