I'm getting a crossbow because I much prefer the idea of hunting with a bow, compound bows are probably more ideal perhaps or even a gun I guess. Might upgrade to a compound eventually but not overly enthusiastic about getting a gun (how to make friends on a hunting forum eh). Probably be touring down Hwy 2 towards Banff this summer (I'm well aware there's no hunting in a national park.) As for birds yes I didn't really look into what the regulations are there, I just know that you can hunt rabbits with a crossbow year round. Obviously I'm expecting to be doing a lot more target practice than anything this year, but I wouldn't mind bagging a rabbit or two if I can manage it.
