Given the "choice" of using my snub nosed 38 or my bowfor a 20 yard shot at a deer, think I'll stick with the bow. It's both legal and more effective.

It was illegal to shootat a deer with ahandgun during archery season, before the reg changed and it willstillbe illegal. Now it's justnot illegal to have the firearm along for personal protection while archery hunting.

Not everyone is tempted to break the lawas easily as others are.
