I seem to remember from last year that a crossbow could be used instead of a flintlock during the late flintlock season. This matters in 5C, where flintlock goes until 1/23, but archery ends sooner (I'm talking bucks here). Of course, I understand that one would need to have the ML tag.

I looked in the regs, and I don't see anything stating that crossbow=flintlock this year.

Not so important for me, as I filled my buck tag, but I was interested . Can anyone clarify?

With crossbows becoming legal for everyone this year that reg was dropped. You have to have a archery license to use a crossbow in late aseason now.

Odd, so you can use a flinter in 5C until 1/23, but a bow or crossbow only until 1/9?

Got that, I'm talking bucks.

I was under the impression one could use any "more primitive" tool in a given season. Like, anything in rifle. Bows in muzzle loader. Bows in flint lock.

How about a "bows only" area. I have some local areas that are bows only. I guess since it is a local township reg, I need to check with them as to the open season in those areas.

Locals do not set seasons. PGC does

True. But they do open or close areas to hunting during a given season. I wonder if my local area will be open to bow hunting, as a "more primitive" tool during flintlock.
