Suburban bow hunting issue misses target in Legislature

DUNWOODY, Ga. — A legislative proposal granting municipalities regulatory authority over the discharge of bows and arrows within their jurisdictions saw little movement during the Georgia General Assembly session that adjourned at midnight March 31.  House Bill 471, sponsored by Reps. Josh McLaurin (D-Sandy Springs), Wes Cantrell (R-Woodstock), Angelika Kausche (D-Johns Creek) and Miriam Paris (D-Macon), was introduced and referred to the House Game, Fish and Parks Committee. The bill has not moved since Feb. 18. The current text would give municipalities power to adopt reasonable ordinances regulating the use of bows and arrows in their jurisdiction, while protecting their use on private property. State law supersedes most local regulations on deer hunting. State law also requires the hunter to have a permit.   The statutes of most area cities outlaw the use of weapons within local parks, including bow and arrows or crossbows.
