RE: Stupid Question?!?

Yeah, I think in almost all states archery season does not run at the same time as gun, however, in most states you can legally use a bow as your weapon of choice during gun season, with a valid gun license, following the same blaze orange requirements for the firearm season. For example, in MI a convicted felon that can not legally own a gun can still hunt during gun season by using a bow. In that case archery season is closed, but with a valid gun license the person can still hunt during gun season legally...just not with a gun. They have to have the gun license and wear hunters orange but it's legal.

Thought that was the same in WI and I'd like to do that instead of using my gun....but the person at the ask WIDNR office this morning said you could not. Just have a hard time believing that and I guess I'll wait until tomorrow and contact an office for a CO during normal business hours for clarification...unless we have an WI DNR around here
