The WI crossbow season IS NOT being shortened. ITS BEING SET. The first few years were a trail period in which the state punted and ran the season the same length as bowhunting so as to gather data. That WAS NOT the crossbow season length. IT WAS THE TRIAL PERIOD!!

What is happening now is the SETTING of the crossbow season length based on harvest data. This is what the legislation that created the crossbow season set as the path for the creation of the crossbow season. Why are people not getting this?

If folks admit this, there would be less pouting and fewer tantrums.
