Title: last question before the season
Post by: akashasdaddy on August 30, 2012, 03:53:17 PM: While archery hunting would it be legal to bring along my .410 for any grouse that I may come across? I have read the regs and I know I couldn't bring a riffle along but I am allowed a personal side are (which I sold) but a .410 is barely usable for grouse. I probably wont bring it at all but I would like to know just encase.
