Cabelas-I am sure that it is illegal to carry a firearm while bowhunting in AZ. CWP law is in conflict and courts have already ruled that we can carry in state parks with no gun rules. My point is that no matter what the law states I know a bunch who sneak a handgun along and why would you want to be a jerk over a treestand if you can walk a little further or do your homework earlier. We can legally hang stands and leave them here. This is the reason I am a ground hunter. Too much of a hassle and plenty of good land to creep. Good hunting.
