[QUOTE="DRC458, post: 1117907, member: 530"] Unless it is a [B][I]PERMANENT[/I][/B] disability, it is not allowed (unless you are over 60, then the disability doesn't matter). From the ODWC regs ... [B]"Crossbow Usage Residents of Oklahoma who are 60 years of age or older and hunters who have a permanent disability to the extent that they cannot use a bow, as certified by a physician licensed to practice in Oklahoma or bordering state, may hunt with a crossbow. A person who qualifies to hunt with a crossbow shall have in their possession while in the field written evidence of such certification signed by a physician or proof of age."[/B] I went through this when I had my shoulder surgery, and specifically quizzed my surgeon in OKC about it. He was obviously quite familiar with the reg, and had an attorney patient/acquaintance who was in the same situation and was quite upset that he was going to miss bow season that year. My Doc said, 'if it is not permanent, you do not qualify, and you will be able to draw a bow again.' Unsatisfied (or bull-headed, you pick), I called ODWC enforcement division and got the same interpretation. You might want to make that same call before you go afield with that crossbow if you are under 60 YOA! FWIW - Don [/QUOTE]
