A dilemma requiring some thought... or maybe not.

Thank you so much Gabriel for your contribution. I am of the same mind that if you blast off with a firearm your bowhunt is over at least for the immediate area within decent sound coverage. It also sort of answers the question of when you are considered "actively participating" in a certain hunt or not (excluding those hunts with migratory birds requiring magazine limits and non-toxic shot regulations).
