Archery permits [crossbow in a short range weapon hunt]

Eo you have to have an archery permit to hunt with a crossbow in a short range weapon hunt?
Answer: 
No.  The only time you need an archery permit is when you are hunting with a bow in an "Archery Only" hunt.  However, please be aware of the archery equipment restrictions, which can be found on page 100 of the 2014 Big Game Seasons and Rules brochure.
