Do you consider a cross bow a bow?
I don't
Do you consider a cross bow a bow?
I don't
In British Columbia the cross bow is considered archery tackle and is provided opportunity under bow only seasons. I don't think the online question is about our opinion. It's about our use of archery tackle. And this can lead to Government making better decisions on hunting opportunity or wildlife management.
Thanks for the information J_T , much appreciated.
Interesting info JT thanks for sharing.
Would be nice to see Govt use archery seasons more for wildlife management ie: allowing increased participation for pressured resources without excessive harvest number concerns

Update for 2020/2021 Licence Purchases
This data includes hunters who purchased a hunting licence and answered the bow hunting question, and whose region of residence is known (some hunters residence area is unknown). The data is broken down by region of residence, and this does not necessarily reflect the area in which the person hunts.
