    Do you consider a cross bow a bow?

    I don't

    With the shooting range restricted I might commit to bow full time. I couldn't rifle hunt this fall without any target practice this summer.

    The regulations seem to say a crossbow is a bow.

    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.

    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

    Under the Proportion of Responses, the third column should have a heading 'skip'. For some reason I can't get it to show.

    Table 1: Count of responses to the bow hunting question when purchasing a hunting licence, broken down by area of residence based on mailing address information. Data includes 2019/20 hunting licences to date (Nov. 14, 2019).
    Region Count of responses Proportion of responses Total Count
    Yes No Skip Yes No
    1 3,769 9,253 2,670 24% 59% 17% 15,692
    2 4,726 16,209 2,975 20% 68% 12% 23,910

    All regions 25,347 60,204 11,450 26% 62% 12% 97,001

    This data includes hunters who purchased a hunting licence and answered the bow hunting question, and whose residence area is known (the total responses is slightly different from the data provided previously, since there are some hunters whose residence area is unknown). The data is broken down by residence area, and this does not necessarily reflect the area in which the person hunts.
