Any REAL bowhunter would not be tempted to use thier sidearm on game during bow season.That's why we use a bow.The problem lies w/ the "outlaws" that will use such a reg. change to take an animal. The law was changed for a good reason and just maybe you might find yourself face to face w/ a bear some evening, it's too bad that someone will take unfair advantage of a law the was changed to allow bowhunters some defense against an animal w/ a bad attitude.

I won't hesitate to turn in a poacher and I suppose we need to police our own ranks a little more.
