Arizona Example - "Give an inch and they will take a mile"
The elusive AZ archery Strip tag for monster mule deer — In AZ, if ya got a sore shoulder you can get a doctors note and hunt with a crossbow. My friend had this elusive permit and came across two very healthy 30 year olds hunting legally with their crossbows. It just goes to show ya, if ya make a loophole in the system, some poor sap will take advantage of it!
So Leedslinger/MT257/Feenix, keep Montana Hunting honest and legitimate.
It's called human nature.Its terrible when people take advantage of something that should help people in need or truly disadvantaged. Just like everything in life a few ruin it for the many.
Come on Ledd. What is with your hostility? It is sadly apparent that you do not understand the impact of a disability. Consider apologizing. LRH members should be supportive. If you disagree with someone's post, think first and then reply tactfully. There is already enough hate in this worldTake it or leave it is all I gotta say. If you want to hunt in our state don't complain. Your general tag is good for archery and rifle so if you are not able to hunt with a bow as per our archery laws then wait until rifle season or hunt somewhere else. It's as easy as that.
And threatening us with a lawsuit??? Best of luck with your attorney. You knew the hunting laws when you applied for a tag. The only joke will be you when the Judge throws the case out of court. That is if you can even find an attorney dumb enough to try the case. Do us all a favor and just stay home. You will not be welcome in Montana.
He says he's disabled, yet talks about hiking in the mountains. Can obviously draw a compound bow under his own power to use the draw lock system, but that's not good enough. He wants a crossbow. I was actually concerned and sympathetic as I first began to read his post until I got to the snowflake liberal part about getting a lawyer and suing the state. That's what tipped me over the edge. I'll snarl and fight that every time to keep people from turning Montana into anything else than what it is right now.Come on Ledd. What is with your hostility?

Long range IS determined by an individual not the masses.I thought this was a "long range" hunting forum. Interesting discussion on archery... but decidedly NOT long range...
I can appreciate that but the ease of becoming efficient with a crossbow is a few hours. Becoming experienced with Bow is a years long process. Some don't want to dedicate the time and practice involved in becoming a skilled Archer. My 82 year old father is unable to pull his bow back anymore, know what he uses now, his model 99 284 Winchester during rifle season. Even if he could use a crossbow during archery he wouldn't as he feels it's a unfair advantage over the quarry and the Archer that has spent years practicing and trying to perfect his skill. Thank you for your service!While I understand that each state should be entitled to it's own rules, I don't think that rule is a reasonable one. However, if Montanas want it, as others have said, then to each their own. Based on what I have seen with the compound bows of today, anyone who claims there is an advantage with a crossbow is kidding themselves. There are many vertical bows that are faster with heavier arrows than my crossbow can shoot. I used to hunt with a recurve but lost the ability to draw a vertical bow due to my service-connected injuries and subsequent injuries due to improper treatment by the VA. Take away my ability to use a crossbow and you reduce my time in the woods. I struggle to even walk some days, so I'm already reduced. Not asking or wanting sympathy but providing an alternate side to the issue. Thankfully, I live in a state that does allow disabled hunters some leeway when it comes to this. Like I said before, to each their own. I spent a year in a war zone for the country making sure we all had our freedoms. I don't ever regret that! Someday I hope to be able to get to do a dream hunt out west...even if I have to use a rifle.
