carrying a pistol question - 12/17/11 01:07 PM
Alright we've been having a discussion at work about carrying a pistol while hunting and so now I'm bringing the THF into our conversation. This pertains to bow hunting.
1. Is it against the law to carry a pistol while hunting during bow season?
2. Say you wound an animal during bow season with your bow, can you use your pistol to finish the animal off or do you have to shoot it with another arrow?
There are several of us going different ways on this one. Some of us think its ok to carry a pistol for protection and to help keep a wounded animal from suffering and some think that during bow season it is completely illegal to have a pistol in your possesion while hunting. So who's right and who's wrong?
