Just read about a new law on the books in IL. Anyone 62 years of age or older can bowhunt with a cross bow without having to get a medical excuse. Just have proof of age and buy the permit.

Not sure why this is needed. I am sure there are plenty of 62 year olds that can still draw back a bow with enough pop to kill a deer. Specially with all of the advances in bow technology we have today. And I don't believe it is that hard to get a medical excuse if you want one.
