As soon as the announcement appears on their web page, we will post it.
My thanks go out to all those that supported our cause. In State and out. Many members here supplied us with iformation that we used in our fight.
We were able to convince the Council to vote on the FACTS, and not to be misled by the Fears and Misconceptions that have been spread about Crossbows.
EFFECTIVE WITH THIS YEARS FALL BOW SEASONS - CROSSBOWS WILL BE LEGAL FOR USE IN ALL BOW SEASONS, BY ALL AGES !
EVERY COUNCIL MEMBER VOTED YES ON THE CROSSBOW ISSUE !

You know if we keep this up, the guys that do those COLORFUL maps showing the States that allow Crossbow use are going to get tired of changing them !
But..............
That's a "GOOD" tired !

They will put it up on the F&G Web Site , hopefully soon. I was there for the vote, and was told that the publisher of the F&G Digest (Game Regs.) will be given the go ahead to prind the Digest with the changes in it, tomorrow.
When the GAVEL hit the table after the vote, it became LAW.

I believe there might be a "little" error. From what I understood, crossbows are allowed for hunting deer only, not all species. I believe that will have to be edited.
