For some people having a bow is enough to handle the situation, but for some (including me) bow is not something that I can rely on when see a big animal like bear.... Regardless of it is rare, but it might be a concern for some of us...
Since when rules are supposed to make sense!Quote:

The operative words there are "when hunting deer". You are still permitted to hunt yotes, or other game with a rifle during an archery only season. Your blanket statement that you can't even have a gun in your vehicle, is inaccurate to say the least.Quote:

I did read that regulation somewhere not too long ago but I can't find it right now, I'll look later.
The OP question was "Can you carry a gun AND a bow while hunting deer during the bow season?Quote:

It seems like you haven't read the OP question, have you?
Again, "when deer hunting" . As long as you are not deer hunting, but hunting other game, like yotes, you can use a firearm. In our area, that's up to and including a .270.
Lol, yes I have read the OP, and you are correct that he can't carry a gun while deer hunting in an archery season. My response was to your blanket statement about the gun in a vehicle. That is not correct for the rationale I have posted.Quote:

Where I believe the confusion is carrying a firearm during the archery Deer season while hunting another species and the answer,of course,is YES,but,we can't carry archery equipment with us. We may hunt one or the other,but,not both at the same time.Quote:
