I was also told once that having my archery deer tag with me while rifle hunting bear was against the law so keep that in mind. That may be a case by case basis with LEO but I won't risk it anymore.

And I have all my tags in my pocket including a bear tag.A dog cannot be with you while bear hunting. Just because I have a tag for a hunt doesn't mean I am hunting that tag. It is like saying your fishing because you have a fishing license.Any agent that told me that I would call BS.

I figure it's one of those things where some dummy ruined it for the rest of us and it's easier for me to just go with it since I wasn't hunting deer anyway than to set myself up for that particular fight.

I have never seen anything in the regs that even hints at that. Im sure most people carry all their tags in their wallets.
Can you hunt deer in archery season while at the same time hunt bear with a rifle? (i.e. you are carrying your bow but also have a rifle on your back). And to be clear, any animal would be shot with the appropriate weapon. (I ask this because I think I heard about a case of this actually happening)If I am not mistaken, this is illegal (or perhaps crazy). Correct?
