Wonder why?!

CYOB thing I bet...

This was my response..I know not the crossbow lover some people think of me as...
After years of battling with the TPWD to keep crossbows out of the archery only season I still have not changed my mind. My concern is the hunters that may not know or realize the limitations on a crossbow. Many of the TPWD commissioners did not know the limitations on them, so how will the hunters? I still believe this is truly another poor decision by the law makers of Texas. Kevin Polovina 662-889-4436 |
Can someone post this as a sticky over on the texasbowhunter site, lot more eyes over there. I don't have the ability to post stickys over there but maybe someone here does.

It was over there but the few crossbow guys took it as an opportunity to ridicule those opposed. TBH shut it down. At least I couldn't find it when I went back to look later.
BAR, I never judged you to be for or against. I hope I didn't come across that way. |
You very seldom see an issue put out for public comment once the law is passed. I really think this is an oppurtunity for the bowhunters to voice their opinion again. Get this out to all bowhunters that you know. Can someone also send out to TBOT. I can bet that the crossbow shooters are letting their comments be heard. Bob

Two things are at play here(jmo),
1st. Procedural order which when followed may delay the crossbow issue for one year giving us more time to reverse out of state interests. 2nd. Those at the TPWD have heard and are listening to the overwhelming complaints from the bowhunters. In talking to the individual public lands managers around the state most of them agree with the bowhunters and if given the necessary information and public input will work to keep the crossbow out of archery season. |

Today is the TPWD Commissioners meeting. You can listen to it online. It specifically deals with these issues.

I would like to express my feelings towards the Passing of Use of Crossbows during Archery season. I think that it is really poor judgement. Every poll that I took and read showed clearly that a unanimous amount of voters were against this and wanted to preserve our archery season and keep it the way it was. I really believe that the only motive for this was MONEY!!! Now I have no problem with disabled or impaired people using them during archery season. I also feel that we as a country dont need issues like this that encourage hunters to argue amongst ourselves with an administration that would like nothing more than to see us tear each other apart and weaken our foothold on hunting and shooting issues. To sum things up, I will just say that i am very saddened by this decision by texas lawmakers, So I give them a big thumbs down No! correct that, how bout 2 middle fingers up!!!!!
