Bow hunting during rifle season

[AaHayes]

Hi guys.

with rifle season about to open up here in the big bush, I am wondering.

who keeps bow hunting, who stays at home and who picks up the gun? If you keep bow hunting what do you change in your game. Obviously the pre rut turns to the rut, but what about the pressure if you share private land or hunt public land?

If I am not mistaken, bow season is closed in most units during a gun hunt....check the regs to be certain.

Best to contact the MNRF concerning your WMU ....I will be rifle hunting ...but a few years ago I was told I could bow hunt as long as I adhered to wearing colours . You are not allowed to bow hunt during a controlled hunt as it says SHOTGUN AND MUZZLE LOADERS ONLY !

During most hunts bows may be used.

To the OP,

I love archery hunting but there's just something about that rifle hunt that keeps me coming back. Played eenie meenie miney mo at the gun cabinet yesterday and checked zero on the two winners. Looking forward to some long afternoon sits in hopes of a poke at a big bodied buck.

I usually pull out a gun. But this year my GFs daughter may have her 1st deer hunt. She's not comfortable with a rifle yet. She's 13. So we'll be using my xbow. And may hunt during gun season

All the info you need is found on Pg.37&38 of The Summary. Read carefully.

I may be off, but I think if your bow hunting during gun season you need hunter orange.

Definitely !!

Only bear is the exception when you get into your tree stand because unlike deer and moose, bears can see colour. In regards to wearing orange during gun season.
