"We should all be looking for productive and innovative ways to get more hunters into the field, not restricting access to the great outdoors and its plentiful bounty.  The crossbow bill is just such an instrument and I am proud to have affixed my signature to another tool which will promote more Texans to get out and enjoy the Spirit of the Wild!"
Governor Rick Perry


I hear tale this is from a reliable source....;)
