What arrows are better?

Arrows have changed so much since 2005, but I think it's fair to say that carbon is in and aluminum is on the way out.  Carbon arrows are stronger, lighter, and faster.  Carbon arrows can be less expensive, depending on the quality of the arrow.  I'm a firm believer of you get what you pay for, so don't be fooled, all carbon arrows are not equal.  The straightness is a very big deal, along with the weight, depending on what game you might be hunting.

Which is better, vanes or feathers?

Hard call.  Both vanes and feathers have their advantages.  Feathers are lighter and more forgiving; vanes are cheaper and a lot less maintenance.  Unless I was shooting traditional equipment, I would probably shoot vanes, most all new bows accommodate them well.

Are the crossbows legal for everyone now?

In zone 3 (shotgun zone), everyone 12 years of age or older, may use a crossbow in both archery seasons

In zones 1 & 2 (rifle zones), the hunter must be 50 years of age or older and can only hunt the first archery season.

During firearm seasons a crossbow may also be used.

 

Additional information can be found on the Michigan DNR website.

Will crossbows ruin bowhunting in Michigan?

I do not believe that at all.  I believe crossbows open a new way to hunt.  Over the last year I have watched, from across the counter, people who had given up hunting due to health issues, and people who have never hunted before buy a crossbow and license and go hunting.  I believe that's what it is all about.  Being in the woods and enjoying what God has given us, and if we bag a deer that is a bonus.  By the way, no state that has opened a crossbow season has shown a decrease in the deer population.

Baiting?
