RE: USFWS Hunt prohibits crossbows
It sounds like a "special" hunt in a state park. If it is not normally open to the regular hunting dates and is a set up hunt they can do what ever they want. If you read the top part they are not even allowing ML's. I have seen hunts set up here in ohio the same way. Usally the person running it can set the rules and do as they please. In ohio I have seen them set them up to hunt bow only, and like wise they set them up to do just guns and bows are not allowed. If it was a normal public hunting area then I would say you can argue with them. But it sounds like a special hunt to control the population within an area and therefore they can make up what ever rules they please. But it still sucks!
