gundog,
few years ago we visited the Log Resort at Priest Lake.
Talked to an employee there about hunting and he was a grizzley bear hunter up their and hunted only using a bow and arrow.
And during Bow season while hunting you can only have a Bow, no gun as a back up?????
What State? Used to be the law in Oregon, but someone figured out that only the legislature could make those rules, not the fur and feathers boys. I suppose that if you got a shot off quietly with a bow, a grizzly could run in a direction conducive to your survival. That’d be one dicey bloodtrailing job, though. Pure adrenaline.
