Title: Hunt with bow during muzzy season?
Post by: Vo2max on August 15, 2015, 10:45:47 AM: I drew a multi-season at and would like to hunt most of the seasons with my bow. A friend of mine suggested I may not be able to hunt with a bow during muzzy season. I trust him implicitly but anyone else know of anything different on the subject? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for clarification. I'll make sure he knows as well.
