I had a physician fill out the form to state my disability and assistive devices used to walk with. I use crutches and/or a brace. I was granted my Handicapped Hunting permit - crossbow/vehicle. Although I know I can use a crossbow, I am still uncertain whether I have to use it from a vehicle only.

Report Abuse

I believe you're required to show that you're physically incapable of hunting with a compound bow due to your disability.
If you walk with a cane, by order of a Doctor, you may qualify for a crossbow exemption.Check with your states DNR online for more information.
you have to have a letter from your doc stating that you have a upper body disability.they are pretty good about not being real strict.
