I used to get worked up about the x-bows hunting in the bowseason, but after a year now, I did not see any additional hunters. The reality is that the x-bow is not superior to a compound, and may be inferior, and few are going to pony up $500-1000 to buy an inferior weapon just to hunt a few weeks earlier. Plus the early bowseason sucks, since it is so hot and the mosquitos are out, that few want to bowhunt then anyway.
The LDWF added this to sell more licenses, but I doubt it has worked out for them.
