I live in Oklahoma, and hunt Fort Sill. I have killed my two deer alloted for bow season, but really want to hunt hogs with a crossbow. The kicker is, that you have to use a "Legal" weapon for whatever hunting season is happening during your hog hunt....
I know what you mean about the "p.i.t.a." that you have to go through, I know a guy in a wheelchair that cannot get a crossbow permit because he still has the use of his arms!
