Unfortunately Dan, none of the above can help. If you conceal it - it may not be noticed. I don't think CO's would be too understanding.ok guys, on taking along the side arm. ?? Don't worry about it? Keep it hidden?? Or, COs will understand in bear country?
You guys that have handguns and plan on taking it with you while hunting that would be a mistake. If you get caught with it on you, your done. Kiss your life away, you will be arrested on the spot, car and all other equipment will be confiscated. Most guys here that hunt deer in bear country like me never had a problem with the bears, I see them every time I deer hunt, and never once had a problem.
Walikng in the morning with a flashlight will scare any bear away and deer. I had a cub climb a tree next to me, look at me and he started making noise almost like a cry, I then heard walking, looked over my right shoulder and her comes MAMA, she growled and the cub left the tree, and they walked off, it was a nice experience this took place last year opening day morning of the bow season. My best friend is scared of bears and I mean really scared, but he still hunts, and if a bear looks up at him in the stand then he stands up and just says somethings and the bear knows he is human and runs off. You guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill
