Get in close on the bear…  :archery_smiley:

The magic line in that law states quote in the field. If you're bear hunting you're bear hunting if you're archery hunting you're archery hunting.

James:
I doubt that law is constitutionally legal, but it would take a ton of money and time to challenge.

AR10 pistol might be worth looking into, or hunt with a buddy.  One has the rifle, one has a bow, switch off between bear hunting and bow hunting as needed.

 As far as I have ever read or heard, when driving a vehicle, you are not in the field. If you are on I-90 driving at 60 mph to your hunting area with your rifle in the case, you would not be considered, in the field. Therefore, when driving up Forest service road 500, as long as your feet are in that vehicle and your gun is still in that case, you would not be considered, in the field.
 I cross a reservation every year driving to my hunting spot. I have asked the tribal police and been told, in their opinion, as long as I'm in the vehicle, gun is in its case, I am not in the field.
 It would be nice if they would put the exact definition of, in the field, in the regulations. I think it's pretty clear but nowadays........

Pretty clear to me, don’t carry a gun unless it is for protection WHILE archery hunting. Meaning boots on the ground, pretty straightforward. If you are running a drop camp, then you would carry the gun and be bear hunting on the way in. And, would need to leave the gun behind while hunting during archery season.
