Hey guys, I'm very new to bow hunting, and have never done it before, but I am interested in it, and trying to gather information, I was wondering what is the law, if any on carrying a sidearm? I was thinking .44 Magnum Revolver? Any information on this, or anything bow hunting would be greatly appreciated!

From the 2011-12 Outdoor Annual "It is unlawful to be in possession of a firearm while hunting with a broadhead HUNTING point during the Archery-Only season, except a person licensed to carry a concealed handgun in Texas may carry a concealed handgun. NOTE: A firearm may be possessed in camp, in a motor vehicle, or while hunting lawful game other than whitetail or mule deer and turkey (e.g., exotics, feral hogs, squirrels)."

You can't just during archery only season.

If you have a CHL, you can carry it during archery season, AS long as it is concealed.

Exactly; and there's a reason for that. Too many Bozos’ were shooting deer with a pistol when bow hunting and that one month is reserved for bows only. We are lucky to have that privilege.

But for all rest of the season, no limits I presume?

The archery only season is the only time that restriction for firearms is in place.
