Can anyone explain this law?

What is the purpose of having to have a carry permit to have a pistol while bow hunting? Why is it ok for someone with a permit to do so but not others on private property? Seems kind of silly to me. If I'm out in the woods and run across a pack of coyote or wild dogs or a rabid animal that are aggressive I want more that a bow on me to protect myself from the threat. You would think DNR could tell the difference between a broad head or a bullet wound if they are worried about people shooting deer with a pistol during bow season. I'm wondering if they are trying to force people to buy a permit.

I thought that law only applied to WMA.

I’m pretty sure if your pistol is concealed as the permit requires not even a game warden will ask do u have a pistol permit. If he can’t see it.
Why do u ask this question

I dont conceal it I carry it on my side on my property. Why does it have to be concealed? That dont make for easy access.

It seems like you always have a problem with game laws or laws in general. Why is that?

Naw no bears or panthers where I hunt but plenty of coyote and wild dogs. Seen a rabid coon the other day he was walkin in circles all wobbly like.

Not a problem just wondering the purpose.

Was it rabies or distemper?

Why do u have a game warden on your property ? It’s your property.

They don’t want you to have a firearm period ! During bow season if your bow hunting. That’s just the way they look at it. They allow conceal carry because that’s the law where folks carry about everywhere.
As the warden in my areas says. I can carry the bow hunting deer. My friend can carry the rifle hunting hogs. The deer had better not have a bullet hole.
A bullet brusises. A arrow cuts.
I guess they have to draw a line somewhere.

Am I wrong to question these things?

Nope. A wise man once told me."The only wrong question is the one that wasn't asked"

 

[red neck richie]

Was it rabies or distemper?

Not sure but it was out mid day and couldn't walk straight and wasn't trying to run at all. Something was definitely wrong with it.

That's my question. Why is the line drawn there? They can obviously tell a broad head from a bullet hole. If I shoot a deer at dusk with my bow wait 45 minutes for it to expire. Get down from the stand find it and field dress it before the coyotes find it. I want my pistol with me in case they try to claim my deer.

I’m sure intent is hard thing for either you or the game warden to prove. You asked to explain the law well I think those that passed that law were trying to prevent folks from being greedy and probably when the law originated the concealed carry thing wasn’t what it is now. I tend not to see the great conspiracy behind every law. Just my thoughts.

I didn’t have any problems meeting the requirements for a carry permit. Hardest part is giving the county that $$$$

Same here. Why should we have to pay $75 dollars to open carry on private land?

 

[red neck richie]

BTW I still haven't heard anybody explain the reasoning behind the law? Other than they have to draw the line somewhere. Really? You cant tell a bullet hole from broad head?
