FWC considers allowing crossbows during archery season

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is considering allowing the use of crossbows by hunters during archery season. The change is being considered as a way to encourage greater participation in the archery season and to help increase overall participation in deer hunting.

Currently, only compound bows, longbows and recurve bows may be used during the archery season, unless a hunter qualifies for and has obtained a disabled crossbow permit. But, if the proposal were to become law, any hunter with a hunting license and archery season permit could use a crossbow (or a bow) during archery season beginning in 2011.

The FWC would like to hear from Florida’s hunters regarding their views on this rule proposal. Hunters are encouraged to go to MyFWC.com/Deer for a detailed summary of the proposed changes and, until March 31st, provide online comments and feedback.
