Str8Shot Report post Posted October 28, 2014 And so you have it from the regs.. here you go A.R.S. 17-305 Possession of other weapons while hunting; violation; classification A. The possession of legal weapons, devices, ammunition or magazines, which are not authorized to take wildlife, is not prohibited while hunting if the weapon or device is not used to take wildlife. B. Taking wildlife by using a weapon, device, ammunition, or magazine that is not authorized to take wildlife is a class 1 misdemeanor. and by the way a center fire pistol is legal for taking all game except Buffalo (Raymond herd) and of course can not be used to take drawn for big game game during a muzzle loader or archery hunts ( you can still take other non tag species if in season during your archery hunt such as rabbit and coyote) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elpepe25 Report post Posted October 28, 2014 R12-4-318-C-1 & 2 States that you can carry a non hunting handgun during muzzle-loading and archery only hunts as long as it has a barrel of 6" or less with no optical or electric sight and may not be used to take wildlife. R12-4-304 states that a center fire handgun may be used during any general big game hunt or H.A.M. hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
el diablo Report post Posted October 28, 2014 Uh....that's wrong. So what exactly is "Wrong" You don't even have to have a hunting license. This is still AZ and you can legally carry. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
