I checked the regs.on bear. I have a question.
« on: August 25, 2016, 08:46:36 AM »
Can I hunt with a modern firearm for black bear during archery deer season? I don't read anything that says I can not.

Thanks

Yes you can.

You probably encounter some archery hunters that will tell you, you can't.
If I need a permit and education to buy a firearm than women should need a permit and education  before getting an abortion.

Yes you can, on page 69 it states that a hunter may use any legal weapon for hunting black bear so as long as bear season is open it doesn't matter what weapon you use since bear season overlaps most if not all big game seasons. If you look under the hunt notes on page 69 it will have two ** which will indicate which units are for archery only.

You can't hunt bear with your personal handgun while archery or muzzleloader hunting.

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.

I do not believe that is a law. 

 So I am grouse hunting with my shotgun and dog. 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.

That's the logic I had but I could see how it could be abused. 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 put all my tags in my wallet the first time I go bear hunting in August, and that's where they stay until all the seasons close.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Yeah that sounds like a load of bs.  They can site you for whatever they want ... but it will get dropped.  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?

You can, but you're likely to be cited.

(1) The following provisions apply to all archery hunting seasons:
(a) It is unlawful for any person to carry or have in his possession any firearm while archery hunting in the field during an archery season specified for that area,
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.
