I'm another bow hunter during "rifle" season. In '08 I shot a 8pt that was still in velvet on the last day. (Second week of December)
Nice buck, Ken Also nice 'yote!!

Great buck Ken. Probably the only time you didn't have a on your face was when you had to drag him out of the bush!

Shot this guy next to the last day of Maryland's 2 week gun season. He came by with about 2 minutes of shooting light left.

I have been afield with my bow during firearms season, and will probably do it from now on.
Wear orange, and take it for what it is.
When I look at my deer rifles, all I can think is they would fund my new Bushbow from Great Northern.

I will be making a Colorado Elk trip this year.I will be going during the rifle season(FYI) I shoot anything and everything. I will be taking my Bow, so I called the Colo, DOW and talked to a person in the office in the area that I will be hunting and she READ me the regulations as to the requirements of archery equipment.Didn't really answer my question as to wether I can hunt with my bow during the general season, so I guess I will have to make a second or maybe a third call to the Division to get a straight answer. I've been reading the post's on this thread and haven't seen anybody from Colo. post on this one yet, does anybody know for sure if I can. (sorry didn't mean to get off topic)

Here in Nebraska, many of us are campaigning for the privilege.. Meeting is Friday, but I am not holding my breath. So far the State's answer to our request is to make the bow a legal weapon during gun season.. aka "buy another permit" Which are normally all sold out anyway.. Please wish us well.

On the National Wildlife Refuge where I hunt it is illegal to hunt with a bow during the gun season.

in washington state you have to choose your tag, archery, rifle, or muzzleloader and have to hunt the seasons your tag fits. you can hunt with a bow in rifle season if you buy an mod. firearms tag. you cannot hunt multiple seasons and a rifle or muzzleloader cannot use that weapon in an archery area even if they have the proper tag. i used to hunt rifle seasons but no longer do because there are so many large archery areas and archery seasons.

Well I called the Colo. DOW for the second time and I finally got a straight answer about bow hunting during the General hunting season. It's all good I was told that I can use any legal weapon to take an animal during that season. GAME ON!!!!

I'm with Pinecone! I've been doing it for 42 years now. I hate wearing the blaze orange though.
