RE: Bow Transporation
yeh, I agree, most states require the bow to either be in a case, or someplace you can't get to it(trunk). They consider them to be fire arms and need to be transported accordingly. In MI I can just throw it in the trunk of my car and it is alright, same with my rifle. But if it is in the back seat, or behind the seat(truck) it has to be in a case. Every state is different, you need to check. I remember when I was growing up in Ohio, everyone had a gun rack in their truck. I don't know if that is still legal or not, I have not seen them lately. Or maybe I just don't pay attention any more. I know you can't do it in MI. From what I understand some states require you to have your weapon in case to and from the stand. I suppose technically if you going in early in the morning or leaving late at night, every state would be that way.
I was just told that someone in MI got jail time for tracking a deer after dark? I don't know the details, but if that's case I know a lot of poeple that are going to jail, including me. I bet he was tracking the deer with a weapon and they thought he was poaching. Like I said I don't know the details, just something someone told me, they don't even hunt.
Good luck,
