Default Northern Hunters...

Can you guys hunt during your firearms season with a bow? I found out we can here Va for the entire gun season. I always hunt with a gun on my club land, because we use dogs like most everyone here in SE. Va. But I have a few places where dogs dont go, so Im opting to use the bow in those areas this year, so I can hunt with a bow until the first sat in Jan!! We have a very long season and very liberal bag limits here in this part of Va.

We can use a bow during our firearms season. There are quitea few people who don't realize that it is legal.
I'm not sure if I will or not yet. I may actually take the hand cannon for does. If I didn't need more meat in the freezer I'd certainly be bow only.

In Wisconsin, it is closed for the duration of the nine day gun season. Archery closed NOV. 17-26th then opens the 27th I believe and is open until Dec 31
