Hows this:

Crossbows allowed in any firearms season to get residential area deer close to houses.

Crossbows allowed by disabled hunters in any season.

Crossbows allowed by any senior hunter in any season.

No crossbows allowed in bow season by able bodied non-senior hunters.

Did I forget someone?


In PA, you can use a crossbow in special regs areas that have an overabundance of deer in suburban areas. Disabled can use them statewide in bow season.
