One other thing to keep in mind: if a warden decides to bust you for having a concealed handgun while archery hunting, you could get fined.  You could also be on the hook for carrying a concealed handgun as if you didn't have a CHP.  The CHP statute has the catchall for places otherwise prohibited by state or federal law.  That means if you carry in violation of the G&P regs, you may be illegally carrying concealed.  If convicted, you loose your CHP for at least 10 years.

I still just flat out disagree with this law. If the animal is close enough to handgun range then it is in bow range, unless you carry a hunting revolver. And if you don't process it yourself there is no way the processor won't realize it was shot with a gun and can turn you in. If a person is gonna poach then they are going to poach. The ONLY argument I can see with this is if the person has a bad shot and just paralyzes the deer and the person wants to put it out of its misery by putting a bullet in its head, and in my opinion that is being an ethical hunter by dispatching an animal as fast as possible. I may just write G&P to see all their reasoning behind this.

I am very interested in this, if you figure out who to contact let me know if you would, I think that there should be an exception in this for permit holders.

I'm gonna get my poop in a group before I try and send any emails or make any calls. I want someone elses thoughts on carrying during firearm season but still hunting with a bow. I would be hunting with a bow but say the gun I am carrying happens to be a 10mm long barrel glock that has the minimum foot/pound requirement and magazine capacity for taking deer(magazine would have a "permanent" plug). Is this restricted if I have a statewide whitetail buck permit that allows bowhunting/centerfire/muzzleloader? Because both seasons are open at the same time does this create an exception? This sounds like a poorly thought out law and needed revisions when they started allowing bowhunters to hunt during november firearm.

Rob B:
I would say you would be legal because the permit you are holding allows that weapon.
