Deer Survey – Carrying gun during archery season
I thought it would be interesting to see how the Hunting-Indiana.com members responded to the INDR Deer Regulation Survey.
I'll follow this up with the other questions.
Fourth question....
Would you support or oppose allowing archery deer hunters to carry a shotgun or other firearm during the early and late archery seasons?
Strongly Support
Support
Neither
Oppose
Strongly Oppose

Another vague & poorly worded question. I must assume that they mean HUNTING LEGAL arms since the DNR has already said I can carry my CCW loaded at all times and in all places.
Given that stricture, I can accept that the possession of a Hunting Firearm during Bow season is a no-go..

I read it the other way Ironsights.... that being any weapon.. including personal carry weapons... So I strongly support the idea of being able to carry my hand gun while I am bow hunting.

Like I said. Badly worded. Given your interpretation I would agree with you. Given my interpretation, would you agree with me?
At any rate, a survey question that has equally valid but diametrically opposite interpretations is statistically invalid.

I opposed every question except youth hunts. I supported the notion of either /or.

I voted niether, mostly because I wasn't sure what issue they were addressing.
It was a poorly worded question.

I would agree wth except the part that says - "..or other firearm during the early and late archery seasons?" Maybe they want to take away our carry permit guns while bowhunting? I don't think the question is not worded very well at all. |

I wonder why they mentioned "shotgun" instead of "handgun"? We can already carry handguns. Because it said shotgun, I voted oppose. So cornfusing!

I too took it to mean concealed carry. So I voted for. If it said only hunting firearms and specified them I would have been opposed. I will carry my .40 anyway.

I don't think the question is not worded very well at all. That was my concern as well. The most straightforward reading would include CCW so I supported. Except for the buck during the youth hunt these questions stink! |

I don't see any need AT ALL to carry ANY firearm while archery hunting unless you are hunting in an urban area.

I don't see any need AT ALL to carry ANY firearm while archery hunting unless you are hunting in an urban area. Trust me, between coyotes and the ever-present possibility of meth labs, the need is there. It's not a question of need though. It's a matter of a *right*. We've hashed this out a few times before the DNR made the rule change. Do a search if you want.  |

I voted in support, only because we don't need anymore stinking regulations saying what we can or can't do.
Will I pack a gun during archery hunting ever ......... doubtful.
Why would you want or need it?
