I hope it works out for you.

In Texas and Michigan for that Matter....you have to have a Major Limb Impairment before you can use a Crossbow during Bow Season....but what the way I read it....they are trying to open it up for all Hunters to be able to Hunt Bow Season ....with a Crossbow

Mike I believe its for anyone 65 and older. Ryano you think your DNR is messed up come to Michigan and you will see corruption and politics like you wouldn't believe >:(

GregB:
Until last year crossbows in Tn were only legal for handicap folks. They were allowed in the 2007 season, I'm not sure what impact they had. I'm hunting on private property, so it didn't really affect me. I would prefer they were not allow however.

Pappy:
I'm with Greg,hunting mainly on my farm,heck I don't even Let guns [except for the kids]
so it hasn't bothered me,but I will say it has brough a lot more none bowhunters to the woods.
Not because they are so much more efficient but because they are easier to learn to shoot
fairly accurate.I don't have a problem with being able to hunt with the cross bow, just a
problem with them in bow season. :)

DanaM:
Pappy here in michigan anyone can use a crossbow during gun season and thats fine, you have to be partially or permanently disabled to use one
during bow season. There is a bill in Congress here to allow anyone 65 or older to use one in bow season >:( and its just a stepping stone to allow anyone to use one. DNR wants to sell more licenses so they can waste more money I guess ???

John K:
Good luck on trying to keep them out, they have been trying for years to get them into the bow season here in Wi.....so far they can only be used for people 65 and over or with a Docs note. It would be a bad thing i think if they were allowed into the regular archery season !

Good luck on you'r fight !
