Crossbows Now Okay

Monday, September 29, 2025 at 7:01 AM

This year the Department of Environmental Conservation ushers in a change that archers have asked for.

Hunters in New York may now use a crossbow in the same seasons and places as a vertical bow for hunting deer and bear. Crossbows have been used in most of New York for more than a decade, but State laws limited their use.  To hunt deer and bear with a crossbow during the bowhunting seasons, a hunter must have a hunting license and bowhunting privilege.
