The Crossbow Permit for disabled hunters is no longer needed.
Crossbows may be used to hunt any game species during any open season where a vertical bow may be used (excluding waterfowl and certain furbearers). Crossbows can now be used during the entire deer bow season in all counties. The Crossbow Permit for disabled hunters is no longer needed. The definition of ‘bow’ now includes vertical bows (compound, recurve or straight limb bows) and crossbows.
