About
Michigan Bowhunting Blog is a forum to talk about our hunting challenges and conquests. Feel free to express your concerns about the states DNR and QDM. I am going to set up a poll to see what hunters think about our current rules and regs.

Crossbows will not ruin bow season now that bait has been banned. If baiting were legal with crossbows, that could have been ugly. It will be very interesting however to go on a talk forum midway through season to hear the horor stories.
They are here and legal, so there is no sense bucking it anymore. We just have to deal with it.
John, you are right on… They are here to stay. I have seen a couple other articles that have discussed Cross Bow laws in other states (I wish that I had saved them). i recall the articles saying that the first season there was a big rush on cross bows at the local sporting good stores, but the novelty was gone as fast as it came in. I think that we will probably see the same effect here in Michigan. A cross bow has some definite advantages, but the hunter that thinks a cross bow is going to be like hunting with a gun, is going to be in for a big surprise. Cross bow hunting will require the same disciplines as our conventional bow hunting. If hunters neglect scent control, and basic tactics they will not see deer in the 50 yard range 9 I am guessing that 50 yards will probably be the max range for a cross bow.
Hey this looks like a great site. I really like the MI local stuff. Good luck tomorrow as our bow season opens! Interested in trading links?
