This year only dissabled persons can use a cross bow in the early deer season. Cross bow will be allowed in the late season [this year].for anyone.
The DNR ruling on Nov 1, 2011 will allow cross bow licenses for the 2012 season when the bow season opens. The bow season for 2012
will remain open with no interuptions untill Jan. 1, 2013.

So if I read this correctly 2012 will be "full inclusion" in Indiana with a seperate (?) crossbow license purchase? I don't like the idea of a seperate licence BUT.... This is great news. Congrats
