This bill amends section 20.1-01-34 of the North Dakota Century Code to clarify the use of crossbows for deer hunting. It allows individuals to use a crossbow during any deer gun season, provided they possess the appropriate deer gun license. Additionally, it introduces a provision that permits individuals over the age of seventy-five to use a crossbow during any deer bow season, as long as they have the appropriate deer bow license.

The amendments emphasize the legal use of crossbows in both gun and bow seasons, expanding opportunities for hunters while ensuring that licensing requirements are met. This change aims to accommodate older hunters by allowing them to participate in bow seasons with a crossbow, thereby promoting inclusivity in hunting practices.
