Your friend can get a license for an extra $20 for first time , and one time only with out the gun saftey . Can't remember what it's called but the program is there to introduce new hunters.Slenk
Not the way I was told . But I don't know . You know how the info from WDF&G is. We were looking into it for one of my grandsons . And were told that we just had to buy the license and tags and pay the $20.Slenk
I don't see why he couldn't carry a shotgun, even without a hunting license. As long as he does not shoot a bear with it, he should be ok. I'd just tell the warden, if asked, that he is carrying it as a backup gun for you. And he doesn't have to wear orange since he is not a licensed hunter, but of course there is nothing that says he can't wear it. You being the licensed hunter don't need to wear orange either, for bear hunting it is not required.
What if I was bear hunting and I wanted to carry a bow, in case I got a close shot opportunity, but I also wanted to have a rifle along in case I had to take a longer shot?
QuoteWhat if I was bear hunting and I wanted to carry a bow, in case I got a close shot opportunity, but I also wanted to have a rifle along in case I had to take a longer shot? If there is an archery elk season going on and you have an archery elk tag in your pocket you don't want to pack both a bow and a rifle while bear hunting. We had this same discussion and were told it was a no-no that would result in a ticket.
