Hunting with Stone points

[Wolfkiss]

I wonder it anyone can help me,. I have had a query from someone who wishes to Hunt using stone points.

What states allow this, is there a resource I can check this out or would I have to check every States Regs?


Thanks in advance.

Andy.

Most states dont explicitly say no stone points. They will say  something like, "a broad head made of metal that is no less than 7/8" wide." Most will make no mention of what material the point has to be made of so you could assume stone points are legal. The best thing to do is call or email the state's department of fish and game and ask them. Most of the laws are ambiguous and open for interpretation but at least you did your due diligence by contacting a state official.

In KY, the spring hunting guide for turkeys states:
"Broadheads at least 7/8" wide, which aren't barbed, chemically-treated, or have attachments that contain chemicals."  I'm fairly certain that the same standard applies to deer hunting.

This is straight off the Texas Parks and Wildlife Hunting Regulations page:

"When used to hunt turkey and all game animals other than squirrels, a projectile must be equipped with a broadhead hunting point that is at least 7/8-inch in width (upon impact) and has a minimum of two cutting edges. A mechanical broadhead must begin to open upon impact and, when open, must be a minimum of 7/8-inch in width."

No mention is made of material, so as long as your stone point is wider than 7/8", you should be good to go in TX!

I know quite a few guys that have taken deer, pigs, and other animals with a stone point here in TX. It is on my "to-do" list!

Stone points are legal in Illinois.

Andy my friend, check this link......   HERE

Sorry Mods, I know this pertains to mechanicals, but it lists, verbatim, every broadhead regulation in every State.

I know a few folks that use them in Georgia.

Thanks for the replies guys, great help.
That list should do it Rob, Thanks.

They are legal in at least a couple of the mid-west states. Kansas is one of them I believe..?
