I think in some states it might be a danger issue? It might be a stand issue too in some states. I think some states you can bow hunt from a stand, but not gun hunt. Michigan used to be that way.

In Michigan you can hunt with a bow during gun season, but not muzzle loader, I never understood that one either. During gun season you can hunt with pretty anything that is legal in that area or state. Like in my area you cannot hunt with a centerfire rifle. However you can use a Muzzle Loader, shotgun, bow or crossbow. And up north you can add a high powered rifle to that list. But in ML season it is ML's only. We have a early and late bow season as well.

In my area I don't think you would have very good luck with a bow during gun season though. Things are just too crazy. Maybe if you owned a big chunk of land that no one else hunted.
