Any time we can get someone off the couch, EDUCATED and introduced to the outdoors it is a plus. Crossbow, compund bow, recurve, etc. the important thing is that people get involved. Whether it is during gun season, bow season or primitive weapons people need to be involved in our great sport. I consider myself lucky in that when I go into the woods on a weekday there have been several times when i was the only one on 55,000 acres of public land and not that many more people were out on the weekends.. Looking back now there was plenty of room for other hunters. If we dont attract others to our sport then the public lands are going to dry up and we are going to be like Texas where you have to pay 500 bucks to go out and sit in a shooting house to kill a deer, There will be no more scouting, shed hunting, hanging tree stands etc because there will be no place left to do it. P.S. I am not knocking places that offer hunts and especially Texas I realize that people work for a living and sometimes plan a vacation and have a limited amount of time. We need to get people involved period.
