I just happen to stumble along and read this topic, I must say interesting. I do not think no matter where you throw crossbows in if you could hunt with them that you would please anybody or everybody. I also must say I'd throw them in with bowhunting versus throwing them in the Muzzle Loader hunt.
Make another season? The way things are going where do you stop? Let's kick off with traditional archery, then the compound season, then the youth, then the old season, then the crossbow season, then the rifle season, then the muzzleloader season, then the . . . you get the picture, might as well make a spear season while we're at it . . .
Would not another option be to run the season 4 months long, and you get one tag and you can use whatever weapon you want? It would offer a period of time ample for anybody to use whatever they want, and I would hope keep the pressure and overcrowding down? Well, one drawback is the one tag deal, maybe make it two, and after that you gotta hunt with your camera, I dunno.
Anyway, just a little bit of my perspective on the take, JMHO, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
P.S. At least you all got something to bicker about, Bow and Arrow hunting of any sort is not allowed where I'm at. Hey, that might be a good thing, 'cause there ain't no bickering about this or that bow or weapon!!
