bow hunting with a firearm

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

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,

Come September 1st it will be legal.

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

Yup, read the regs AND NEVER DEPEND ON WHAT YOUR BUDDY SAYS as he may be wrong

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.

Been posted for awhile on TBH I believe.

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