You can legally use a bow during any of the seasons, you just have to have either a black powder or modern tag to do so.

Thats what I thought EastWa, but sadly this is not the case. Check out the top of the thread.

Not trying to speak for 7Mag but the way I read his post is that you could have a mz elk season and archery deer season in the same unit at t he same time.  That is where I could see the reasoning behind it.

BTW, I voted no just to add to the no votes.    I could care less.  If I want to hunt mz season because of timing then I'll buy a mz tag and hunt with my front stuffer.  Same applies to archery.

I went through this with a game warden last year, because I had a multi elk tag, and I wanted to hunt both deer and elk at the same time. It turns out, in this state, that is nearly impossible, even with a multi-season tag. The only way I found to make it work is in the Alpine unit. With an archery elk tag and a modern deer tag, there are a few days during the high hunt that overlaps, so you could legally hunt both species with a bow.

BTW, Phool, no offense taken, I knew what you meant.

WOW that's very odd!

I voted no. Why does everybody want to do everything all the time. I hunt for fun and food but if your going to put the two together you might as well add modern and just make it one season for all and we can kill every thing out there and change it to killing season instead of hunting season. Just kidding. The GMU's throughout the state that are open to muzzle already make it tough using Muzzleloader equipment and I really don't see any point in taking archery equipment along. Why not just hunt the archery season that is open longer and open to more GMU's. Doesn't make much sense to me why anyone would want to shorten their odds so much.

I respectfully have to disagree with the point of might as well add modern to it, because it is an issue of choice, I and many others have tried for years to get the WDFW to get rid of weapons choice period...in the end they came up with the Multi-tag. It's for those who just want to hunt....to be out there and not be confined to one weapon one season. As far as why would anyone want to use a bow during M/L season because M/L is hard enough. well as a guy who uses rifle why would anyone want to use anything other than a rifle. The answer is personal choice and difficulty is part of hunting and makes the kill that much more fullfilling for some. I think if you have a tag for a specific weapon season then as long as the weapon you choose does not exceed the capabilities of the stated season then it SHOULD be legal.

 They actually fixed that with the concerns of using Muzzys during a modern season, no longer do you have to adhere to the Muzzy regulations if that gun is being used during a Modern firearm season as long as you have that tag. So now you can use the sealed inlines and 209 primers during that season.

 It's a matter of choice and like I also seen stated some may  draw that multi tag yet not own a Muzzy so what would be the harm of taking the bow?

 It would have been very easy to grab my rifle from M-Ray when I went after my moose, but I really wanted the challenge of getting him with my bow.

Remember these are still just proposals and not laws yet !!
