My dad lives in Michigan but wants to hunt sometime with me in Florida. He cannot pull a bow because his back is shot. He has a special permit for Michigan. What does he need to do so he can hunt in Florida? I know at times you may use a crossbow but what about the times you cannot?

You can use a crossbow during general gun without a permit or anything special. You can use one during archery if you have a disability permit. I dont know if the Michigan disability permit is good here though

Id say yes just because the brochures say during small game only centerfire rifles are prohibited.

crossbow hunting has its own season. I would email fwc to be sure.
