Archery during muzzy season

[emac]

Is it legal to use archery equipment during muzzy season.  I thought I read it in the regs once but then I went back and looked but couldn't find it.  I have my disability crossbow permitt so I am also wondering if you can use archery during muzzy season would it be legal to use a scope on my crossbow during muzzy and rifle season

Yeah it's legal, it's a lesser weapon issue.  You can hunt anything that's less capable of the actual weapon designation.

Yes it is legal to hunt with a bow during modern and muzzle. Or if you have the multi tag you could hunt all seasons with a bow. That's pretty much how I use the multi tag.

Alright thanks.  Well I will be taking it with me this weekend since it is suppose to be raining and I havent got an animal with it yet.  Snuck up on a nice buck during archery season had it at 10 yards but didn't wanna burn up the multi season tag so early.

Are you guys sure that it is legal to use a bow during ML season?  It used to not be legal a couple years ago.  Did they change it?  Always thought it was stupid that it was not legal as it is a "lesser" weapon, but it was not.

You can use the scope on the X-bow during Modern season, but if legal during ML, I would guess the answer would be no scope on it if you cannot use a scope on it during archery season.

Muzzleloader tag holders may only
hunt during muzzleloader seasons with
muzzleloader equip    This is from the regs regarding Firearm Restricted Areas, I am not sure why it would be different in the non-restricted areas.  So, still not legal where I live.

Yet it's legal to use a bow during muzzleloader season (if you have a muzzleloader or multi season tag).

I contacted F & G about this. I was told the only way you can use a lesser weapon (bow during muzzy for example) is if you hold a multi season tag.

I don't think it is legal,  I believe the lesser weapon only applies during modern firearm season.

EDIT,  see above post,  you will be fine since you have the multi season tag.

Please read the regs before posting!!! Here is the direct quote from the regs. Multi-season tags have nothing to do with it. Yes it is legal.

Hunting Method: Muzzleloader tag holders can only hunt during muzzleloader seasons and must hunt with muzzleloader or archery equipment. hunting equipment must meet regulations on page 76-77

In the past it wasn't legal, but they changed the law and made it legal a year or two ago.

That's not correct.

The point to be made here is that you have to have a ML license to hunt with archery equipment during the ML season......

I was actually looking this up this morning as this is my first year with a MS Permit, my question was can you carry both weapons , muzzleloader and archery?
