While taking the species authorized by the season: 1. An individual participating in a “muzzleloader” season shall not use or possess any firearm other than muzzle-loading rifles or muzzle-loading handguns, as defined under R12-4-101. Individuals participating in a “muzzleloader” season may possess a non-hunting handgun for personal protection. It is unlawful to take any wildlife with this handgun while participating in a “muzzleloader” season.

When pursuing archery only game, a sidearm for personal protection is the only legal firearm allowed! On the otherhand, while you may be out looking for javelina with bow and rifle in hand, if asked, you could say that you are hunting coyotes or lions!

Way to get the year started off with a early success! They are fun to hunt with stick and string!

Way to stick with it! Looking forward to your next tag, dec and any other in the unit, you already have a good idea of news areas to find deer! In affect plan A thru Z if needed! Sometimes you just need to get lucky with the weather and being on the right ridge looking in the right direction to get the buck of a lifetime! What you dont need luck for is to have a GOOD life experience that will stick with for the rest of your life....... Thanks for sharing! I feel your pain! Next year will be your year for the big one!
