    You guys that say a crossbow is NOT archery equipment are WRONG! Period.

    Crossbow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    There are plenty more, so stop saying it is not archery equipment when it is ... whether you think it should be legal to hunt with or not ...

    Does this logic mean I can use a rifle during shotgun season because they are both guns? ;)

    ish...some counties is shotgun only....

    I will say this; with today's shotguns, they are so close to rifles that it really doesn't matter, as are the Muzzleloaders....if a county wants to do a shotgun only, they should do smooth bore, non-scoped ones to reduce distance ....like the old days :D (I hope they don't!)

    Man enters woods with a weapon that effectively shoots one arrow before a deer runs off. What is the big deal?

    soccer90, Answer: NO. Is a seahorse a horse? A crossbow is a separate weapon. It is preloaded, cocked and set at full draw and shot off a rest. A bow (archery) must be drawn at the time the animal is present, held steady without a rest, released with some skill for accuracy all without letting the animal detect the hunter.
