This week the DNR released the results of it's Bowhunter Survey. This was a mail-in survey. WBH used the same survey questions but sent the survey to only WBH members. The survey asked Bowhunters for their opinions on Deer herd status, DNR credibility, Crossbows, baiting and a variety of other related questions. You can view the survey results by clicking the links below. In regards to the crossbow issue. It's pretty clear that once again, a majority of Bowhunters are opposed to crossbows for everybody. Every time the full inclusion question is asked, the results show that a majority is opposed to the concept.
