That is very generous but I’m not a good borrower. You could have it 5 min or 30 years and it be perfectly fine. I leave the driveway with it and it decides it’s time to give up. If it’s gonna break it will absolutely wait till it in my possession, whether I use it or not.

Can you hunt a different area with the xbow for your tag or just a different time?

There are two areas. One any weapon and one archery only. Being the first season the bulls will be in both areas. They cross freely in between the two. The past hunters all recommend having access and equipment for both. There is the possibility of a good bull and you don’t want to be stuck on one side if the bull moves into the other side. Especially after the first few are shot at with rifles.

People cheat by having a stand, people cheat by shooting long range, people cheat by planting food plots, and on. And on.
Get a xbow and enjoy your hunt, bloody things are a bit awkward n cumbersome tho.

I hear raven is coming out with the 6.5 creed this spring. That should be good. I am just kidding but like other have said getting a 350 ish fps or 150-175 lb will be fine. I have found that with more speed like a bow that things get toucher and have shot both mechanical and fixed at deer. I like mechanical on my faster crossbow but don't like there performance sometimes in deer. The faster one just allows me to shoot 15 yards further till it really starts dropping and need to know exact range and dial it in. Also check the regs in all states you might hunt. In NY they have a min limb length to stop the technology and 3 inch groups at 100 yards that $2000 crossbows can do and be a more traditional hunting instrument. I think WY was getting into the debate of what is traditional/bow vs the technology.
