So, when are you going to be barbecuing? Yum....

I have the freezer. Any suggestions for where to get a good deal on a
crossbow? I was just thinking today that those fawns would almost
exactly fit on the Weber spit....

Man! I haven't read the game laws in *years*.

When did crossbows become legal for deer hunting in Texas???

Legal? You mean, you actually pay attention to laws?

Did you know that the number one cartridge that kills deer in America is
the .22?

Not legal in any state.

A crossbow is a mercy killing for a deer. The impact and horrendeous
internal blood loss kills quicker than a 30-06 through the lungs.

This is why Politicos are so afraid of crossbows...makes the perfect
assination weapon. It will go through any Kevlar vest and even a near miss
will kill a person quickly through shock and blood loss.
And it's silent and almost as accurate up to almost the same range as a
rifle.

And there are not ballistics forensics to prove. If you get rid of any
arrows in the set immediately afterwards.

They don't have anywhere near the range of a .308. Or even a .223.

There are very few "bullet proof" vests that will stop ANY rifle round.

Of any kind.

And I'd never try to kill a full sized deer with a .22 round. That'd be
slow and cruel. Even with our itty bitty goat-sized Texas White Tails,
it'd take a proper/lucky shot. :-(

Unless you are into miles of tracking...

But, I do agree with you that Crossbows are the perfect assassination
weapon, due to their silence. They can't tell where the shot came from.
That is why they tend to be regulated.
