RE: USFWS Hunt prohibits crossbows
Typically there they have followed state deer laws regarding dates, weapons etc. Deer season is open in that county at the same time. They also have a history of problems there. They did hunt that went bad and they canceled the hunt that year. Something about the people being picked wasn't done in a fair manner. If I remember correctly something along the lines of someone let their buds in first. Then another time there a refuge officer shot a feral hog with his 45 auto while showing other employees around. Then they had a BBQ. That made the news. Since there was no season on them nothing was done. But you're right they basically do what they want to there.
