That's a circle jerk.

assuming you are not hunting over  bait.(salt, etc...)  I think you are fine either way, just say you are bear hunting and decided to bring 2 weapons.

Pg 85
b. It is unlawful for any person to carry or have in his possession any firearm while in the field archery hunting, during an archery season specified for that area, except for modern handguns carried for personal protection Modern handguns cannot be used to hunt big game or dispatch wounded big game during an archery, big game hunting season.

I would say reading this that you cannot bring a rifle with you while out archery hunting.

That's not the question though, it was weather or not he can still bear hunt in areas that are open for archery. He's not saying he's archery hunting but bear hunting. To the other question on carrying both a bow and rifle or shotgun at the same time then I guess you'd be right there. While archery hunting is what that says but there are overlap areas that are open for archery at the same time as black bear so one could go archery in the morning, then bear hunting that same spot that after noon, or later on, but not at the same time.

There's two different questions being asked: one by OP, another about bringing a rifle for bear while archery hunting for deer.

Thanks fl0und3rz for the clarification I didn't know how to word it..... My plan is to just bring a friend who only has a bear tag with his rifle while I'm deer hunting archery, 2 tree stands close by so I got the security if need be

I know this doesnt answer your question , but its already kind of been answered , however my question is why not stick that bear with your bow?
