Hi there. I am an avid hunter here in Newfoundland. I believe that hunting is a great way to enjoy nature, the outdoors, and can be a great family activity that teaches respect for nature.

That being said, Newfoundland has some of the craziest hunting laws in Canada. I am starting this petition in hopes of letting us hunters use a Crossbow for hunting. As of now, we can use a shotgun, rifle, and Bow. So why not a crossbow? A crossbow would give people a different challenge and get more people involved in this great sport. You can use them in other parts of Canada, SO WHY NOT HERE!!!

So please, sign this petition and help us get Crossbows legalized here in Newfoundland.

    • I can't imagine what goof decided it would be illegal, but it's time to wake up and apply some common sense to our laws.

    • There is no reason why NLers cannot enjoy crossbow hunting or handgun hunting. These are big sports in the US. They are just as safe as current methods and are a great deal of fun.

    • Crossbow hunting has been well established in other provinces for many years without harm to the archery tradition, or to the species being hunted. It encourages new hunters to get out into the field and help with conservation and population control. Legalize them!

    • The means to hunt should not be restricted, it's the sportsmanship that counts.
