Ames Plantation to Allow Crossbows This Year

[Bucks & Beards]

Good idea or bad idea?
I say good:
1) Improve hunter satisfaction for those who desire to use them
2) Meet the goal in doe harvest
3) Better opportunity to harvest required doe between bucks before mzzldr or rifle season opens

Particularly in view of current TWRA regs, Ames deer management plan/regs, don't see any reason Ames shouldn't allow crossbows during their archery. Probably will do more good than harm (if any).
