JoeProBono,
I was in Priest River, Idaho a few years ago and asked a guy that worked at the place I stayed about hunting there.
He told me he was a bow hunter and went for Grizzly.
I said Kool, and strap on a 50 cal side arm.
He said NO, that was illegal. If ya went “ bow hunting” you could maybe take a knife with ya but side arms were illegal.
And the year befor he’d taken a griz.
