We're gonna get right into the controversy here, [smacks lips] uh, with Tyler Jones.

I suggest two weeks before muzzleloader, but if you physically can't use a vertical bow, you need a waiver from a doctor." What do you think? We just had a, a, a short on this from Mike Rex, right?
No, I had a clip, yeah, posted a clip that's doing really good on, uh, YouTube, specifically talking about, uh, should crossbows and baiting be banned, uh, or made illegal.
Um, and really, so there's a lot of comments on this one, like a ton of comments.
"If you can't physically use a vertical bow, you need a waiver from a doctor." I'll be honest, if, if a state made that regu- that requirement, it wouldn't change the way I feel for one way or the other.
So, um, [smacks lips] but I'll say this, like, what Mike, Mike Rex was talking about in that clip, and that's really what spiked, 'cause there's quite a few crossbow, uh, hot takes and questions, I think, like, where he was getting at is just opening it up, um, for the opportunity for more people to be able to go out there and, and bow hunt, especially limited time, don't get to shoot a whole bunch.
Um, you know, shooting really far, bad conditions, unethical shots, all that kind of stuff.
I have joked for years I'm gonna get a crossbow, 'cause so many of you guys hate crossbows.
