in pa it's now legal to carry a pistol while bowhunting if you have a concealed carry licensefor afirearm, or a sportsman's carry permit. hmm.. the .357 may just go along this year. i've had bear come after my downed deer before, and the thought of coyotes, wild dogs, bobcats and whatever eyeing me up in the dark is a little disturbing sometimes when all you have is a bow and a knife. it's a heck of a rush though when you hear something following you down the mountain, lol.
