I'll be in 243. I was up there this weekend and saw a few does going off the road into the trail to my stand at 5am, as I dorve to the parking area. Nothing came by during light hours. I did sit in another stand and watched another doe at 75 yards for two hours .

I hate to admit it but I am still not positive so can someone give a direct yes or no to the question," can I take a bow and a gun into the stand"? So as to be prepared for either sex deer? This is my first year hunting with a bow. So far I have hunted every weekend in various locations with no luck.

Thanks for the info.

It's a definitive no. Here's the state statute:

97B.211 HUNTING BIG GAME BY ARCHERY.

Subdivision 1. Possession of firearms prohibited. Except when hunting bear, a person may not take big game by archery while in possession of a firearm.

Thank You. I guess it doesnt get more clear than that.

But I will be hunting by firearm but have a bow in posession, not hunting by bow and having a firearm in posession. JUST KIDDING! Thank you again for the info lcornice.
