If you can't pull a bow back, then you should consider hunting muzzy or rifle season. This is a slippery slope for archery hunters.
Walking around the woods with a cocked crossbow scares the hell out me. But if it works for some, have at it.
The 2 states I hunt back east, WI and MO, now allow crossbows to be used by anybody. I haven't heard a single complaint from anyone I know.

Both states you mentioned have way longer seasons and allow for multiple deer to be harvested per year. Neither has an OTC elk season either, but I'm game to shoot an elk at 100 yards with my scoped crossbow during archery season.
