We have started carring some archery equipment in the shop and now I have a question. I have had one shoulder rebuilt and I dislocated the other one around a month ago. How do I get a crossbow permit.

You can download a form from the wildlifedepartment.com web site, or in my case, I had the Dr. hand write that I could not pull a standard bow any longer due to a ruptured bicep tendon and would like to see me use a crossbow. He signed it, and I've shown it to every ranger in the counties that I hunt in, and they all said it was good enough for them. We took it to a print shop where they shrunk it down to credit card size, and laminated it. I keep the original in a file, and the other in my wallet.

It must be a permanent injury. They don't issue temporary permits.

Thanks for the info Dennis.

...I know you're not old enough, but an 'fyi' for everyone else is that anyone 60 years and older may use a crossbow without a permit now.

Thats good to know USFWC.
Just got to wait about another 30 years to use one now.

The 60 yr old crossbow permit does not allow you to apply for the McCalister hunts. Only those with the DR'S
permit are allowed to participate.
