Awshucks, Horton's info is out of date and the link doesn't work. Deer hunters here in Indiana can use a crossbow only during our late archery season, but according to the current hunting guide may take a deer of either sex. Here's the correct link:
IDNR Hunting Guide 2007-2008
You can take all other legal game with one during their appropriate season(s). Varmints may be taken with a crossbow at any time.

Awshucks,
In Louisiana it is legal to shoot hogs year round and coyotes too during the daylight hours. You can use any weapon of your choice including Crossbows. I think rifle is centerfire only.

For Texas it has to be a permanent upper limb disability. A temorary medical condition, like a broken arm or sprained wrist, does not qualify. I don't think a cyst will do it either unless it can't be removed or unless you have a very friendly doctor.
Also, the crossbow is legal for any game other than migratory birds during any firearms season or for any animals that have no closed season. Archery deer season is the only time they can't be used, except by the disabled. But they allow the draw lock device with no restrictions!!

In Oklahoma we have the same dumb laws. I don't understand why I couldn't use a crossbow during muzzleloading & gun season. I mean, a gun is a lot more advantageous than a crossbow.[&:]

Awshucks:
I did fail to mention that crossbows are by disability permit only.
Though it would be an interesting question for our wildlife agency.
That being if you can hunt with a gun during the off season why not a crossbow during the off season without the permit. As a matter of fact, I am going to write my Congressman right now. Have his email in my address book. Good suggestion for all of you. I think I will start a thread on that.
