Question 51- Use of a Crossbow for Rough Fish (# 230110): Current state law does not allow any person to use a crossbow for spearing rough fish, not even a person with a permit to hunt with a crossbow. Therefore, even a disabled person with a crossbow hunting permit could only spear rough fish with a hand spear or a bow and arrow. Persons who are eligible for a crossbow hunting permit generally have some type of disability that prevents the permit holder from being able to easily or effectively operate a regular bow.
Would you support legislation and associated rule changes that would allow any person who holds a valid crossbow hunting permit to be allowed to harvest rough fish with a crossbow? All other laws regarding the harvesting of rough fish with a bow would be applicable.

I think everyone should be allowed, you wouldn't get as much shooting in but they're just carp

Re: Bowfish with a crossbow?
Absolutely. It's kind of dumb to allow people to hunt a managed and highly valued resource like whitetails with a cross bow, but not a critter like carp that they don't want.
You cannot invade mainland America. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.

Everyone should be allowed, although it is much more fun shooting with a bow.
