    They are going to have hard numbers on weapon type. Since they already are being counted as archery kills reduce archery permits and season length accordingly. 

    While we’re at it let’s ban compound bows. The use of scopes, sights, releases give them an unfair advantage over stick bows. 
     

     

    Yea and if your only one handed give them a spear. And if you have no arms or legs use a blowgun .  If your blind use dynamite.

    You ASSume I’m a crossbow hater.  Not at all, they are a viable weapon that has a place in the hunting community. They just are not a bow and arrow.  Just like a muzzleloader is not a bow and arrow.  Shooting a crossbow is MUCH easier to become efficient than a bow and arrow.  FACT.  This is why archery hunts were historically longer……their difficulty level is much higher than all other weapons.  Doesn’t make them better or worse, just different.  You want to keep what you’ve always done, which I completely understand, with a different weapon system.  While I understand your reasoning, maybe it’s time to hunt with a more suitable weapon in the appropriate season?   Nothing personal, just an objective view.     
     

     

    I just gave a option for a appropriate season.. doesn't matter rather your a hater or not.. As a rifle hunter or a bowhunter, Would you be okay with less time to hunt, and at a different time then someone else, Handycapped or not?

    He sounds like a good candidate for a crossbow……but in their own season or HAM type season.  Sadly, more and more people are abusing the permit system.  JMO

    So does a crossbow hunter get 12 weeks a year to get the job done? That's how long a bowhunter get every year. Maybe a 6 day hunt every year for bowhunter would be a good idea. Since your not handicap 6 days should be good. Then give Handycapped crossbow hunters 12 weeks a year to hunt. How's that work for all you crossbow haters.

    Well me and my brother used shoot bows all the time and go hunting growing up, he got in an accident and only has use of one arm now and can’t shoot a bow, he recently bought a crossbow so we can still hunt together and I’m glad he did, I can’t wait until he kills a deer with it too so I can post it on this website and watch all you idiots with an answer to everything that always think your right about every topic sit and talk shoot about it, you guys aren’t the only ones with opinions, and your opinions aren’t always right, neither are mine, but in some situations when people aren’t taking advantage of it , crossbows are a good thing to keep people that actually love hunting in the field, I am right about that

    Your damb right. And good for you and your brother. Good luck and looking forward to seeing your brothers first crossbow kill.

    Lady I Know got a pacemaker put in and the DR signed her permit for the X bow. She's not disabled, just never did hunt in the archery season with a bow and arrows until the crossbow became a possibility.

    My opinion That's taking advantage of the permit. The requirements clearly state that you must not be able to pull back your bow anymore. I'm not sure what the poundage of pull you must pull to require a permit. Not really sure what your heart has to do with your arms or shoulder.

    I will never understand why people feel entitled to hunt during the archery season when the weapon doesn't suit them anymore.

     

    Being Handycapped is alot different then being Entitled. I've never met a Handycapped person who felt entitled to be Handycapped. Why should that person be treated any different then you or I.  I'm 60 years old and broken down and old as heck. If I could know longer hunt and enjoy the life I've learned to love. I would know longer feel the need to be here anymore.. that's why these crossbow permits where made available. And know one should take it away or take advantage of the permit..

    I've never been a head hunter..grew up rifle hunting. My family hunted down south by Patagonia, until I was about 14 then we started hunting unit 8 in Williams. And unit 9 occasionally when we got drawn second choice. I was in my late 20s before I really started bow hunting. Over the last 40 years I've learned that archery hunting both early and late season provides a hunter a greater chance of getting a buck and one of great size. I have shot the first buck I seen most the time. Unless it's a very small dink. If I come across more then one buck in a herd I will shot the biggest if a shot is available. Luckily I have come across some very nice bucks over the years. That where my first buck I saw or the biggest in the herd. Mostly in Early August hunts and late December into January. Just be patient. In the flats if you can take a 24 foot step ladder and climb up on top and use your binoculars. Locate them and make the stock. I know of a guy in Benson who has a 24 foot sizzer lift camouflaged that he sits in on a water hole on his property. It's totally flat but full of coues and muleys. There just very hard to see until there right under your feet. Being elevated some helps dramatically.

    Big muleys like the flats . Especially during the rut. The older bucks tend to move down lower away from the younger ones that want to fight over does.  Normally you won't see them with more then one or a couple older does .This was taken in 37b in December of 2018 archery

    In 1976 area 8 . I was 15 and sitting on Ike's tank near Williams Az. Last morning of a 13 day hunt. Sitting by myself and 6 muley bucks all came in at the same time. I shoot the biggest one at 35 yards with a 270 Winchester. I paid 95 dollar's for from the jewel box in Phoenix.. He went in the 160 range..
