Whoa! Hold on boys and girls of the hunting scene, this is going to be a HOT TOPIC!! 

On this episode of the Ryan Furrer Podcast I'm joined by past President and current Board Member Jim Willems from Pope and Young. 

The main topic of discussion was the highly debated issue of the modern day Crossbow.
 
Yes! There I said it- we're actually sitting down having a discussion about crossbows and if they have a place in the actual bow season.  Let's be honest if you're a bowhunter the advancements in crossbow technology in the last few years really has to leave you scratching your head.  Just the other day I saw a crossbow ad where their marketing read "Meet your next rifle!" HA! 

So why not sit down with one of the top guys at Pope and Young. I mean P&Y is the organization that is actually responsible for us as bowhunters having an actual bow season in the first place, so I would think their opinion would be valid.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I'm personally not anti-crossbow, I am however starting to question how far this is actually going to go. Where does it end? So this isn't a crossbow bashing podcast,  It's a discussion that more hunters should be having.  Hopefully from this episode they do. 
If you don't stand up for something, you'll fall for anything. 

We said it in the podcast- speak up, become heard, get involved with Pope and Young, or your State Bowhunting Organization.  
As the great Fred Bear said, "If you're not working to protect bowhunting, you're working to destroy it"
