Free: Contests & Raffles.
i was talking to a buddie warden about this subject as well the other day. he told me we have a better chance getting the indians to stop hunting "public" land then to get a law passed to carry a sidearm during archery season. i told him the 3 very close cougar encounters ive had during archery season. and he just laughed it off. and said that its gonna take more then complaining to change said law. its gonna take a death and still that is not enough...that he has been trying to get that law changed ever sence he started on the force and has gotten no farther then any of us have on this subject. we need to get people in charge that actually hunt, and want to make a difference for the hunter and the animals. its to easy for companies or organizations to pay off the wdfw to get laws the way they are. and guess what we still buy our tags every year and put up with the *censored*...we need to boycot hunting and fishing. plain and simple.
That's funny, I have never carried or worried about carrying while archery hunting. Do you have any statistics on the number of Archers that have been attacked and or chewed on by a bear or cat? Probably about as many as the number of Hikers that have gotten shot. I guess some folks are way more nervous than others...
Machias, ask Killbilly about carrying heavy duty tire chains......
Curly, you can open carry in the woods without having the CPL.
