When I started bow hunting in Wisconsin about 8 years ago, I always kept my bow in a case on the way to the stand, because I beleived it was the law. Well, a couple of years ago friends started telling me that wasnt neccesary anymore. I cant seem to find anything in the regs about this. Am i ok walking in the woods before opening and after closing with an uncased bow??

Yes, just don't have an arrow knocked before or after shooting time, thats all.

thats kind of what i thought - just wanted to verify. thanks for the reply.

I know the law used to read your bow must be cased if it is before one half hour before season starts and one half hour after season ends. I know of somehunters that got pinched for coming out of the woods to late last year with uncased bows. So I would rather be safe then sorry. I could be all wrong but I still use my case.
