modern firearm hunting method- "you may use modern firearm, archery, or muzzleloader during modern firearm seasons"
Archery hunting method- " Archery only. Archery tag holders can only hunt during archery seasons and must hunt with archery equipment."
Muzzleloader hunting method-Muzzleloader tag holders can only hunt muzzleloader seasons with muzzleloader or archery equipment".
These paragraphs confused me. It sounds like if I buy an archery tag I can only hunt during the archery seasons and if I want to hunt during either the muzzleloader or modern seasons I could do so with a bow; but, I would have to buy the appropriate seasons tag.
Am I reading these correctly or as an archery hunter am I allowed to hunt all seasons with just an archery tag?

Muzzleloader tag - muzzleloader season only. Modern firearm tag - modern firearms season only.

I hope I am not one of the dumb people you refer to in your tag line. Some of the questions I post may be dumb to some but I am new to this sport and just want to cover all my bases. I grew up in a family of non-hunters and I grew up without a positive male influence in my life. Now at 28, I find myself a divorced single father of a 6 year old daughter, who has been going to school trying to learn a new trade since being laid off 3 years ago. I lost my unemployment benefits back in November; I turn in at least 3 applications everyday, and can't even land a part time minimum wage job at a fast food joint. I have almost 15 years work experience, a high school diploma, a welding cert, an Associates in Applied Science, and am one year from having a BA in social work/business management. Last season, my first ever, I had my first buck stolen from me. I fell in love with this sport on the first really rainy day of last season and wish to pass the love on to my daughter. I love this sport and the outdoors so much I have decided to pursue a career as a wild life officer after graduation and my daughter is already talking about becoming an officer when she is grown.
Now, please don't get me wrong; I did not take offense to your tag line. I just wanted to fill you, and others on this sight, in as to why I ask so many, of what some may consider, no brainer questions. I do truly appreciate all the help the kind people who frequent this sight have given me over the past year that I have been a member and apologize if the questions I ask are considered dumb. I don't mean to waste your time but i also don't want to be out in the field and make a bone head mistake. Not only for my or my daughters sake but for all hunters. I feel that any hunter who finds a way to get themselves in trouble in the field makes the rest look bad. I DO NOT want to be the person who makes hunters and outdoors men look bad.

Bigshooter,Anyone that thinks you make hunters look bad needs a mirror. Your desire to do the right thing is commendable. Best of luck to you. :tup:

Those, on this forum, have had that same question at one time or another and it was answered for them. As a result, they are most happy to pass on the answer, so you can do the same.

"The ONLY dumb question is the one NOT asked." Keep asking the questions, no matter how much you may think they are a "No Brainer";+1
