Delaware crossbow season

[jgforestry]

Crossbows are now for all hunters in Delaware. Yes Delaware is very small state but it does offer some very good hunting. Allthough you wouldn't know it from the year I had last year (freezer is now empty) but that is another story altogether. I've been hunting with crossbow for about 6 years, blown out shoulder and just bought an ibex. Still have the trusty old quad 300 barnett as a backup.

• Deer may be hunted with crossbows in accordance with statutes and regulations of the State
of Delaware governing the hunting of deer from September 1 (September 2 if September 1 is a
Sunday) through the last day of January, provided hunter orange is displayed in accordance with
§ 718 of Title 7 when it is also lawful to hunt deer with a gun. Crossbows may be equipped with a
scope. There is no maximum pull weight for a crossbow and crossbows may not be transported
on or within any vehicle with the crossbow in the cocked position.

Crossbows may be used in lieu of a firearm during any shotgun or muzzleloader seasons open in December or
January, and during the November shotgun season from Monday through the last Saturday.
