SUMMARY
This amendment removes the provisions of the bill that expand crossbow hunting for deer into the regular archery-only season on deer and that remove the requirement that a person must have a valid hunting or archery hunting license or an apprenticeship hunter license or archery hunting license in order to hunt with a crossbow. The amendment retains the provision of the bill that lowers from 70 years of age to 65 years of age the age at which a person may hunt a wild bird or wild animal with a crossbow during any open season on that wild bird or wild animal, hunt in an expanded archery zone and hunt during muzzle-loading-only deer hunting season.
