Kentucky just ok'd ccw while hunting. From what I understand, I can open carry or conceal carry as long as I have a permit. Open carry is legal in Ky without a permit, but to carry while hunting you must have a ccw permit. Go figure.
I always thought it was rediculous that I could carry in Walmart but not the woods...

You probably need it more in Wally World than out in the woods!

Wish I could OC or CC while hunting up here. I carry an over and under and was once surrounded by a pack of at least six wolves while grouse hunting. I got out OK, but the math was not in my favour.

I don't bow hunt any more, but Kansas still hasn't passed that. They're too scared you'll shoot a deer with your pistol instead of your bow.

Exactly. I never could see the need to carry a handgun while bowhunting. It was more of a hinderance than anything. I figure that if I needed to defend myself in the woods, a well placed broadhead is "as or more" effective than an equally placed bullet. YMMV.

I'll be in our local WMA tomorrow for the early duck opener.

I will most certainly be carrying as this WMA is a (supposedly) a huge dope growing area and very remote.

Really? What about the guy that shot all those people in the woods a few years ago? Saying you can defend yourself just as easily with an arrow is like saying you would be able to defend yourself just as easily by carrying a bow down the street.
Think about it. You have to raise a bow, draw it back ( if you have time and enough space) then release the arrow under stress. Plus, you only get one shot. If you bow hunt, you know the adrenilin flow trying to hit a deer. Try a human. Also , how long can you keep an arrow drawn back and aimed at a threat? It would be more hair trigger than cocking back a revolver with your finger on the trigger.
When I hunt and I have to disarm to walk into the woods, It's like having to disarm to go into a Walmart. Its rediculous. I should be able to carry EVERYWHERE. Things dont just happen in the city. Hunters fight over hunting spots,argue over who shot a certain deer. Many scenerios. Not to mention, crime can happen anywhere. I'll take my rights with me into the woods too.
