Why not legalize airbows?

I see no issue with it. Why not? Still shooting an arrow with stored energy.

We have more deer than we need. I'd be with expanding gun season, to boot.

Depends on where you live. In the northwoods there are places where you can go weeks without seeing a deer.

Yes, there's also a whole lot more land in the northwoods. Pop and eat!

IMO, I wish they would create a seperate season and license for crossbows and traditional archery. Sell a tag for both if the deer numbers say it is ok.
