Thank you,

In Louisiana today, hunters are not allowed to use a perfectly legal implement for the harvest of game animals. They are being told that, quite frankly, their rights as sportsmen and women do not matter.

Crossbows are legal in the state of Louisiana, but only for those 60 and older, or those who are physically handicapped. This is an unjustified and highly discriminatory act, and it is only happening because there are not enough people, like you, to support it.

Do you respect your rights as a hunter? Do you like being told that you cannot harvest your game animals with a implement that is already legal? Do you like having your rights as a hunter completely ignored?

If so, then we want you to sign our petition to allow crossbows for ALL hunters in the state of Louisiana.

But what if you don’t live in Louisiana? Sign it anyway, as out of state revenue is an important factor in our Wildlife Commission. If you have even the slightest idea that you may someday hunt in the great state of Louisiana, we want you to sign this petition to stand up for YOUR rights as a hunter and/or outdoors person in the state of Louisiana.

Please understand, this is NOT a petition to get the crossbow into archery season but, simply a petition to have the right to hunt any and all game in all seasons, regulated by the state of Louisiana, with a crossbow. If muzzleloaders can have their own season, crossbows should, too.

We can get this done, but we need YOUR support. We don’t need money. We simply need your signatures on this petition. In less than three minutes, you could be actively preserving your rights as a hunter.

I would like to give a special thanks to Keith Warren, who has a TV show on the Outdoor Channel, for taking time from his busy schedule to come by and sign the petition. Thanks Keith. It is great to have your support.

Also, I would also like to announce that Keith Warren has agreed to come and speak at a seminar here in LA a little later this year on the education and legalization of crossbows in Louisiana. We are working with him now to schedule that date. As soon as I have that info, I will post it.

Thank you Keith Warren for your public aknowledgement of your support. I am looking forward to meeting you in person. God Bless Texas!

The same applies in Michigan I belive, I have bad shoulders and cant shoot my regular bow much, If I want to use a cross bow I have to get three doctors to verify my inability to use my shoulders then get the local DNR officer to Ok it then I can use a cross bow.

They aren't allowed at all in Washington State - to hunt with. Most ranges won't let you use them on the archery ranges either. I have one but I just can't shoot it outside my yard - and if the neighbors complained I could get in trouble for shooting it here.
I sure am glad I live in America - the land of the FREE.
