Default RE: Crossbows introduced for regular archery season in PA

Too busy to take a look at the link? Not a problem, I'm here for you. Note the firearms ID card requirement and the shotgun and ML test requirements. So maybe not to skew a poll but to gain access to good hunting lands? Seem far fetched? Really?

"NOTE: A current Firearms Identification Card (FID) is required to sign up for ALL hunts starting in 2008. If you don’t have one, please apply with your local police department to obtain one or do not apply to the program.

Just because you belong to UBNJ organization it does NOT mean that you can just start hunting at one of the identified properties. You must first apply for each hunt individually using the specific application form assigned to that hunt. All hunt applications and the $10.00 non-refundable fee will be sent to the address listed on the application.

At the end of the application process deadline, the UBNJ hunt manager will communicate to the hunters their status. Priority, for most hunts, will be based upon date of application and past performance of hunter contribution. If you are approved you must attend an orientation, pass a proficiency test for each firearm (bow and/or shotgun/ML) and receive written permission from the Hunt Manager. Each hunter must be able to shoot 3 out of 4 arrows with broad heads into a 9 inch pie plate or 3D target vital zone at 20 yards. For the shotgun or muzzleloader test, the hunter must be able to shoot 3 out of 4 slugs or bullets into a 9 inch ring at 50 yards."
