Hubby could get a crossbow permit here because of his back injury but hasn't yet. It will be interesting to see how the new law affects the harvest there in Michigan.

It would be interesting to know the breakdown - How many 1st time hunters - last year bow hunter - last year gun hunter. I've a hard time getting a handle on that number. 45,000, that is a bunch.

I bet if they legalized Sunday hunting here in Virginia, it would give all sorts of retailers a boost. I must say though, that crossbow hunting has been legal in Va. for several years now, and I don't know many people who do it regularly. Most are like me; trying crossbow hunting out, maybe shooting a deer or two, but ultimately returning to hunting with a compound bow. Good luck this weekend and happy Thanksgiving!

So far I have only heard of one deer being taken with a crossbow. I think your probably right on in your assessment Art. So far I have only heard of one deer being taken with a crossbow.
