Dave, thanks for the input.

In Virginia it is illegal to carry a firearm during bow season if deer hunting.

Lets take the deer out of the equation. There is nothing that I have found preventing us from having a bow and a gun if we are squirrel hunting. Squirrel season is in. To me this indicates that as long as we do not have a deer in our possession we are 100% legal.
