I was always under the impression that you could not bowhunt during the 9 day rifle season. However, I watched the pbs special on Wis. Deer Hunting and the DNR rep said that you could if you were in blaze orange. I am still uncertain because DNR has been mistaken with their own regs before. I am fairly certain you can bowhunt during muzzleloader season and assume you need to be in blaze for that as well but not 100% sure on that. I just wait until they are both over and can't get in trouble. For some reason I havea problem with bowhunting in blaze orange, it just seems wrong.
