I have been scanning the older post in the hopes of finding my answer.....but to my dismay, I still am a little fuzzy. Let me give my circumstances:
1) I am still archery hunting for a buck.
2) I have a shoot from the vehicle disabled permit.
3) I have an anterless tag for the WMU which I archery hunt in.
So, for the upcoming "early" M\L season, and I speak to the 3 days where modern firearms are permitted (I'm not discussin the ethics or right\wrong of that law here) am I correct in thinking that I CAN strap on my Smith 44 magnum to my hip, as well as take my broad-head thrower?
So, should a buck stroll by, I can fling an arrow into him. Then, after proper tagging, should a doe stroll by, I can take her with the 44?
I cannnot however, take a anterled deer with the 44 magnum. (And I'm sure there are those who would, but it seems to me that would take the sprit of the contest right out of it. I mean....why even buy a bow?)
But, in any event, can I carry a 44 magnum for doe, and a bow for buck on those 3 days?
From what I am reading in the Digest, it speaks only of being able to carry a M\L weapon and a bow. So, I'm thinking to be able to carry a 44 mag hunting gun, and a bow is not legal. But it doesn't speak directly to the "old-guy" centerfire 3 day special gun deal.
Clarification would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dave
