More people with a reason to care about wildlife conservation. And if any of those people are youngsters, that means more kids accepting the hunting heritage and spending more time in the woods and less time playing video games or watching MTV.

There are already provisions in place for new folks who want to hunt with a crossbow; in the general season.
Archery stamps are almost an invalid argument with the new super-combo license. Especially since Parks and Wildlife never kept a tally of the stamps in the first place. |
"There are already provisions in place for new folks who want to hunt with a crossbow; in the general season."
Not if they want to hunt an extended season.
"Archery stamps are almost an invalid argument with the new super-combo license. Especially since Parks and Wildlife never kept a tally of the stamps in the first place."
Then "conventional" bowhunters need to stop harping abput the season "they pay/paid" for.
