I like the way Texas has it' s hunting regulations set up.

Recurve and compound Sept 27 - Oct 26. Crossbow for diabled persons(must have medical disability that is verified by a doctor).

Nov 1 - open season , " anyone" (with a license) may use a centerfire rifle/pistol, muzzle loading rifle/pitol, recurve/longbow, compound bow, or crossbow to harvest deer.
