sidearm allowed while bow hunting in Wisconsin???
Couldn't find any info on the dnr website. May have to call. I know for sure you can carry a sidearm when small game hunting and any other hunting that involves a firearm.,..

Yes you can. It can not be concealed how ever, it has to be worn outside your clothing. I have been carrying my .44 with me for a long time while bow hunting for bear protection. You must be atleast 18 in order to carry a pistol.

If you guys are scared of running into bears and wolves while bowhunting, maybe then you shouldn't hunt with a bow but maybe stick to guns? I just see it as a bit odd wanting to carry a gun while hunting with a weapon that is supposed to be primitive. In my view you shouldn't be able to have it both ways. Plus the odds are better that you will get killed in a car accident going to your hunting spot than you ever might run into a man eating bear or wolf!
