Well here they are.

I wonder why they have no crossbows allowed in 4J this season? Still no crossbow for the early bow seasons.

I sure wish they would change the northern bow season.  We get 3 weekends of bow and one of those they throw in ML's with us.  6 weeks of rifle season why not just cut it back to 5 and give ML's that first week?

That's a good point. Here's another mystery, why can you take a deer of either sex in the NZ with a muzzleloader, but not a crossbow, bow, shotgun or rifle?

Why can't you shoot a deer of either sex with a bow in northern zone? As far as I know, correct if I'm wrong. My bow stamp lets me shoot a deer of either sex anywhere in state, combine that with my muzzleloader tag I have and I get an antlerless tag anywhere in state.

Oh I see it says in certain antlerlered deer only zone. Didn't know they had them.
