I've had a permit for years which allows me to carry a pistol during the archery hunt as long as it remains concealed, under a coat, in a backpack etc. We contend with a few bears where we elk hunt so I pack one just in case I have to argue with one that may have decided to claim my elk or deer for their own. I wouldn't want to kill one, just fire a shot or two to spook him off.
