Carry a handgun while Hunting?
(1/10) > >>
kerrdog:
I've bought a holster for my .357.  I've decided I'll take it hunting.  Last year I felt a little.... vulnerable... while packing out elk quarters (my friend's elk) with no rifle. 

My grandfather-in-law says he called in a mountain lion while turkey hunting once.  And he said he never goes out without "his old pistola." 

Can I get a ticket?
JackOfAllTrades:
Use the search feature. There are other threads about this subject.  Open carry is legal in this state. You've got plenty of time before hunting season to get your CPL though. That way you can carry concealed.

There are several threads on this subject.  A lot of great info for you.  Just search a bit.  My opinion is "How could fella get his pants on without his pistol"?  Hunting or not!
bobcat:
This is what it says on page 68 of the 2011 Hunting Regulations:



--- Quote ---A modern handgun may be carried for
personal protection. Modern handguns
cannot be used to hunt big game or
dispatch wounded big game during a big
game hunting season for muzzleloading
firearms.
--- End quote ---

Oh, also I forgot to mention:  you can carry your handgun concealed without a permit. You do not need a permit to carry a concealed weapon while hunting (or any other outdoor activity).
