Bear sightings may be rare elsewhere, but I hunt in Pike County, PA, which has one of the highest black bear populations in the country I've been false charged twice while bowhunting. I've had about four other encounters in the woods while hunting that went better. This purchase is long overdue.
On a serious note, I appreciate your advice. I'm sure the pistol will choose me.
any how, if your plan is to OPEN carry a hand gun while bow hunting, , I am 99.9% sure that is ILLEGAL to so
you cannot be carrying a firearm in the open while bow hunting, its NOT allowed in PA
the ONLY way you can legally carry a firearm while bow hunting in Pa< is if its with your conceal carry permit
so like I said, might be better off with bear spray which an be legally carried in the open!
