Ask a CO: do crossbows need to be encased, uncocked, and unloaded in the field?

It’s interesting to note the differences between provinces and states regarding hunting laws.

Take radios, cell phones, and trail cameras for example. In most places hunters are free to use them, while they are forbidden in others. If caught you are treated like a poacher.

Inconsistencies for sure. Some states forbid baiting while others demand firearms be encased immediately after filling a tag with immediate attendence to an inspection station. It's really important to know jurisidictional nuances.
