I think its kind of strange that I could hunt this weekend with my Son if we both carried bows but since he will be carrying a gun only he can hunt. Should an adult in an urban zone be able to carry a bow during the youth hunt? I know most will say it's about the youth and it is but come on he got his deer last week and I need to catch up.  |

Take one for the team dad! Im sure there is plenty of time to catch up....  Any legal weapon is legal in urban zones unless local law prohibits there use. Firearms can only be used during their seasons. h.h. |

Kind of a quirk isn't it?
IMO - If both of you had bows and out hunting in an UDZ he really would not be participating in the youth hunt. He would be bowhunting with his dad - just like he could have done from September 15th on.. The minute he picks up a gun, MZ, crossbow or handgun to hunt with that weekend he has relenquished the UDZ bowhunter status.
If you accompany him when he is hunting as a youth with a - gun, crossbow, MZ, handgun you cant have anything to kill a deer with.
Brings up another thought. If he is hunting with a bow in the UDZ during the youth weekend can he take more than one deer? Is he hunting as a youth or just another UDZ bowhunter, like he was when he killed that doe?
IOW - Is there any such thing as a bow youth weekend in the UDZ?

Good point Woody, I would say a youth could take more than 1 deer this weekend in the urban zone as long if it is with a bow.

Cool, learn something new everyday! What urban zone are you hunting with firearms?

Woody, I agree with everything except the last line where it says urban deer zones are strictly archery only as most of Tippecanoe Cty is an urban zone and there is plenty of gun hunting happening in this county in parts that are also urban just like in Vanderburgh Cty. What I didn't know is that the youth could technically participate in both hunts at the same time although that isn't going to happen.
