Champ permits do not allow you to use a crossbow during archery hunts. You still need a crossbow permit. They are not the same.

FYI, if you already have a CHAMP permit, all you have to do to get a crossbow permit is go in to G&F office with that CHAMP permit and they'll issue you a crossbow permit without any other hoops to jump through ...

Champ permit requires 90% loss in one leg, or cant see. Crossbow permit requires 90% loss in one arm. So just because you qualify for a Champ permit does not mean you qualify for a crossbow permit. Learned all this while pa was going through it several years ago.

It was a perfect hunt for my Dad. He has shot dozens of deer and elk, but he has always been a meat hunter. This was the first time he ever passed on a buck, and he passed 52!! Born and raised in AZ and had never had a Kaibab tag. Construction took its toll on his body and he became camp cook for a few years until he put in for the Champ hunts. This is his once in a lifetime buck!!!!

 

He also killed his best bull elk on a Champ hunt last year!

I've been involved with helping several people obtain CHAMP permits (the last time today).

 

As for crossbow permits, I repeat (trust this) >>> "FYI, if you already have a CHAMP permit, all you have to do to get a crossbow permit is go in to G&F office with that CHAMP permit and they'll issue you a crossbow permit without any other hoops to jump through."

 

OR you can take a newly filled out CHAMP application in to G&F and they'll both process that CHAMP application and issue you a crossbow permit immediately afterwards on the spot (if you want one).

 

And yes, the qualifications to get a CHAMP permit have changed the last couple years (see attached) ...
