I am new to bow hunting but have a question about carrying firearms while hunting. I think it is illegal to carry a firearm unless you have a chl while bow hunting. Any help out there?
Thanks
Tom

During bow only season you can carry with a chl if it is concealed.


Ps don't believe everything you read on the internet.

Check the regs but I think the law was changed this year(2014-2015) to allow all bow hunters to carry a sidearm in bow season.

Take care,


Take Care,

I am sure most public lands will still have their own individual rules prohibiting firearms during archery still.

Well, when was someone going to post this info! Surprised I haven't heard about this yet. This is why I read through the book every year when getting that new licence.

I didn't see the announcement that bow hunters are allowed to carry firearms without their chl.
