>So the only explicit law is around archery season you cannot carry any firearm.

Is that true even if you have a general license to carry? Seems odd that you could have a license from your local cop that allows you to walk around town with a concealed weapon but once you step out into the woods you have to lock that weapon up in the car?

Yes because you're considered in the act of hunting.

Yes I understand that but I find it illogical (because I am Spock) that I can walk around cities streets with a concealed weapon (legally with a license to carry), but if I am out in the woods mostly alone and carrying a rifle or shotgun, a concealed handgun is now considered too much?

By the way, I am by no means one of those pro-gun people, I am actually all for reasonable gun control, but I do find many laws for many things to be contradictory or to have been implemented in ways that simply do not make sense. This certainly sounds like one of them.

archery season its forbidden, shotgun or primitive season its very fuzzy and I don't know a single person who's been hassled about it on private or public lands. A friend is a prominent yote hunter in the area and ALWAYS carries.
