Yes it is legal to hunt with a bow during modern and muzzle. Or if you have the multi tag you could hunt all seasons with a bow. That's pretty much how I use the multi tag.
:yeah:

You can use the scope on the X-bow during Modern season, but if legal during ML, I would guess the answer would be no scope on it if you cannot use a scope on it during archery season.
Muzzleloader tag holders may only
hunt during muzzleloader seasons with
muzzleloader equip This is from the regs regarding Firearm Restricted Areas, I am not sure why it would be different in the non-restricted areas. So, still not legal where I live.

EDIT, see above post, you will be fine since you have the multi season tag.

I contacted F & G about this. I was told the only way you can use a lesser weapon (bow during muzzy for example) is if you hold a multi season tag.
That's not correct.

In the past it wasn't legal, but they changed the law and made it legal a year or two ago.
Wonder why they did not change it in the Firearm Restricted Areas? WDFW's anti-consistency agenda strikes again I guess. :bash:

He could do the same thing for modern deer if he wanted.
The state is aware that people who have been restricted by a court are doing this and accomidated them.
The same goes for hunter Ed. They can take the class but not handle firearms. They Are tested handling a bow.

Please read the regs before posting!!! Here is the direct quote from the regs. Multi-season tags have nothing to do with it. Yes it is legal.
:yeah: it is clearly stated in the regs

What page? I looked all over for it. Still not legal to use a bow during muzzle in F.R. Areas.
Sure it is. Why wouldn't it be? If you have a muzzleloader tag, you can use a muzzleloader or a bow (during muzzleloader season, of course.) And a bow is certainly allowed under the firearm restriction rules, since it's not even a firearm!

Are you guys sure that it is legal to use a bow during ML season? It used to not be legal a couple years ago. Did they change it? Always thought it was stupid that it was not legal as it is a "lesser" weapon, but it was not.It seems a little unclear though if you read what loki highlighted :dunno:
You can use the scope on the X-bow during Modern season, but if legal during ML, I would guess the answer would be no scope on it if you cannot use a scope on it during archery season.
Muzzleloader tag holders may only
hunt during muzzleloader seasons with
muzzleloader equip This is from the regs regarding Firearm Restricted Areas, I am not sure why it would be different in the non-restricted areas. So, still not legal where I live.

I'm sure that part just didn't get updated since the change in the law.

I was actually looking this up this morning as this is my first year with a MS Permit, my question was can you carry both weapons , muzzleloader and archery?
Not true. If you have the multiseason tag then you also can.

hunt during muzzleloader seasons with
muzzleloader equipmentas defined by
department rule.
pg 48. Muzzleloader tag holders can hunt
only during the muzzleloader seasons
and must hunt with muzzleloader
or archery equipment. Hunting
equipment must meet regulations on
pages 76-77.
Without a doubt no one will be cited for using archery equipment in a FR area. Pg 81 is not updated to the new standard because the state is defining archery equipment as muzzleloader equipment under hunting methods and archery equipment is already allowed in FR areas.

The hunting pamphlet is not the actual law. I wouldn't go by one inconsistency in the pamphlet.
