Legal ?

Legal ?
In my state of Missouri, it is legal to hunt deer, with, rifle, shotgun, muzzle loader, hand gun, air rifle, and crossbow, long bow, recurve, compound bow, atlatle, (atlatle is a spear that is thrown with a piece of wood that they use as a propellant ) But during bow season a crossbow is not legal ;;;; unless you have a disability permit ????? but you can chuck a spear at them make sense ? The good news is that I think next year crossbows, will be legal for everyone,in the state of missouri. Whats legal in your part of the world.. Dave

Re: Legal ?
Some people think the crossbow is like the AK47, shoots 3 miles goes through 1 foot of concrete and kills on the other side. Right?? WRONG !! .

Re: Legal ?
Yes, next year here in Missouri, you will no longer need the handicapped endorsement to use a crossbow during bow season.

Not the type of air rifle you are thinking of!
They are available in some pretty big calibers and are fully capable of bringing down deer size game.

Re: Legal ?
In Ontario, we do not have a caliber restriction for big game, only stipulation is no rimfires. Legally you could hunt deer with a .17 Rem, ethically, not so much.
Recently watched a video of boar hunting with an air rifle, and them things are tough.

I'm not too sure of the caliber, but I think the air rifles are the kind that you charge with an air compressor,,,,artifact wrote:Hunt deer with an air rifle?ehntr wrote:rifle, shotgun, muzzle loader, hand gun, air rifle, and crossbow, long bow, recurve, compound bow, atlatle

Re: Legal ?
Hi Dave,
Purchased a Matrix at Bass Pro Thursday. I was looking at getting a 355 but was told by the sales rep it was not legal to hunt deer with a Xbow with limbs with a draw weight over 200LBs. in NY.
Got a 310 instead. It shoots great and I understand it has plenty of energy to take most any game I'm libel to encounter in upstate NY.
But who comes up with these rules?
Is not a faster bolt flatter shooting making a ethical harvest more likely? Do they think Hunters using faster bolts will try to make longer shots and wound more animals? Was it a concession to hunters that use conventional archery equipment who felt it was an unfair advantage if Xbows can shoot faster than compounds?
Most likely it's politics. The county I Iive in is shotgun only. It's proven that centerfires are no more dangerous. The counties on three sides of us have all legalized centerfire for Deer with no incidents in the last 3 seasons.
Sorry for the rant. Good luck to all this season.
