RE: Bowhunting with a gun now in Wyoming!
Gotlost,
Montana has had the right to carry a gun while bow hunting for years and the % of elk killed is still about 20%.
I see where you guys are comming from,I have hunted all over this state.You generaly see guys carring guns in bear country.The farther east ya go the less you see some pack'in.
The other thing if they are bowhunting elk why in the heck would they be toting a shotgun for grouse,kinda defetes the purpose right.
The other is as Archer 18 pointed out,who want's to pack a 8 pound rifle AND a bow,the ones that poach generaly don't get off the road.
Montana has a 1-800 Tip # to turn in poachers,can't you guys do the same?
Also the ones that are pack'in were probaly were anyways,you just never notice.
The ones that are poaching will do it no matter what,archery,rifle,spring,summer,fall,night or day.
I feel it's a good thing to have the right.
