can I take my shotgun with me for blubbery picking (bear season not open yet )

Like I said your legal, 100%. But the CO can charge you. Don't argue with me about it. He has the legal right. What are you going to do if he says he's writing you a 250 ticket? Tell him you refuse to except it?

As for a CO not checking you out for have a gun uncased in a boat out of season, pretty sure he would check you and if he didn't he probably isn't doing his job because that would not look so good.

But hey your legal to carry the rifle. But in all honesty some on here sound like their attempting to almost challenge a CO. That almost always goes bad. I preferr to carefully choose my battles.

Try and buy him off with berries.

What if it was covered by a gun sock ?

Its all about what the CO thinks your intent is.

If there is an open season for any game then you need a license for that game to be packin.Otherwise your good to go.

Since your odds of being attacked by a bear or encountering a CO while berry picking are both extremely slim, I'd say it's not worth worrying about. Carry it, or don't, nothing is likely to happen either way.

Statistically, you should be more worried about being in a car accident on the way to the berry patch or struck by lightning while picking berries.

Very true
