Can we bow hunt in WI this coming Friday?

Unread postby dreaming bucks » Mon Nov 18, 2013 5:59 am

Since I'm too lazy to go find my rulebook, I will just ask you guys. Can we archery hunt on Friday, the day before the gun season? I was at the local tavern last night, and whenever I would ask someone, I would get some yes's and some No's..... So I still don't know...... Didn't they also change the law so that we can bow hunt right through gun season now?

Pretty sure the only thing you can hunt is waterfowl.
I don't even think you can sight in your gun unless your at a gun range.
