Its only lawful to kill carp with bow in my state. Sounds like fun but laws against hitting fish other than carp are very harsh and I see it happen often. Is it the same where you live?

actually, i,m not ssure of that. i think perch, pickeral, maybe walleye, but need to look into that more. yes i know carp fer sure. and perch. i,ll look again and git back to ya. later on the river here, seein as though it borders vermont and new hampshire, though we can fish to the first bridge of everytown without a licence too. {a new hampshie licence,} so find out where if ya can on your side too or what stae your in. then you don,t have to buy a out of state licence. for the connecticut river.
