Do I have to stop using my crossbow for the week-long October muzzleloader season for antlerless deer that overlaps with the early archery deer seasons?
No, you may continue to use a crossbow during the early archery deer seasons, even during the overlap with the October muzzleloader season for antlerless deer, provided you have an archery stamp. As a participant in the early archery season, you will be able to harvest either an antlered or antlerless deer, provided you possess the necessary licenses. May I still use an unfilled buck tag as an either sex tag in the late flintlock season if Im hunting with a crossbow? The ability to use an unfilled buck tag as an either sex tag is a privilege that is reserved for those hunters participating in the late flintlock muzzleloader season. Therefore, those who choose to use a crossbow during the overlapping late archery and flintlock seasons will need to be licensed as an archery hunter and follow the requirements for the late archery deer seasons, and may not use an unfilled buck tag as an either sex tag.
