Have a question for you. My dad is interested in getting back in to hunting and wants to use a crossbow on his private property. He can no longer pull back the compound bow.
1. It looks like it is legal to use the xbow during the archery season in CT? Is that true? 2. Does he need a bow hunting education or will his regular hunters education do?
thanks!

"2. Does he need a bow hunting education or will his regular hunters education do?"
If you mean the firearms hunting course when you say "regular" than no, he must take the separate bowhunting course. Check the DEEP website. If he has archery certification already than he does not need a separate course for crossbow.
And apologies I have no idea why it is posting my response twice every time.
To hunt with a firearm, a State Firearms Hunting License is required if landowner does not reside on the qualifying property.
To hunt with a bow and arrow, a State Archery Permit is required if landowner does not reside on the qualifying property.
