I do not think that personal biases should enter into the matter at all.
Some here have the same mentality as the Alberta Bow Hunting Org in their desire to rid all bow seasons of crossbows, regardless of whether there are background constraints that will not allow the hunter to use vertical bows.
You still have to get damn close.
You still have to have the required skill level in all related matters.
I see that in general we agree on that.
Also Ed Zachery.I enjoy/love hunting. Have no issue with rifle, crossbow etc. I enjoy the people I hunt with. Their weapon of choice, is their own.
Cheers
