Dan O no problem on the regulations. There are alot of people that read them wrong. Mostly because they read the archery season' s close for the gun season, they assume that they can' t use archery in those gun weeks.

As I said above, if you want to use archery in the muzzle-loading only week, ask your local MNR District Office. The local office is what sets the sates and rules for your local areas. Peterborough told me that they included archery in the controled muzzle-loader season because people had asked for it to be included. Also told me that generally as along as you are not trying to up the weapon of choice (rifle instead of shotgun, shotgun over bow) but use a weapon of greater difficulty they will generally include them in the regulations. It would never hurt to ask [8D] .

You are also correct in thinking that hunter orange must be worn in these weeks. Now the hunter orange law is another law that is totally confusing, even to MNR CO' s. Some CO' s claim that during any large gun season (deer, bear, moose) you have to wear hunter orange. But acording to a writen reply I got from the MNR, you only need to wear hunter orange if you are hunting during those seasons. Example, if you are archery hunting Moose or deer (archery only) when the bear season is on, youdo not need to wear hunter orange unless you are hunting bear (have a bear licience) then you have to abide with the hunter orange for bears.

Why can' t they make easy to follow rules and laws [:@].
