Thanks for the clarification Arnie. I cant imagine how the rule against hunting with a bow in the firearms season makes any sense but it's the law so we live with it. Back home, I killed my biggest PA buck in the general rifle season with my bow a few years back. I'm awfully glad we don't have that rule here.

Oh, and thanks for the offer to help with stands! I managed to get most of em down on the last day of second shotgun season except for the few that were really remote and there was too much drifted snow to get close with the ATV. We'll get those in March whenwe come out to hunt sheds and maybe some coyotes.
