Is it now legal to be in possesion of a bow and a shotgun during the over lap of archery and turkey season. I thought I read that somewhere.

It used to be illegal to carry a flinter and bow together in the late season, but that has changed.

I was wondering the same thing this past week because a friend asked if I could get him a black squirrel. I see them often when hunting up north and shot quite a few when I lived there. I saw two while archery hunting in the ANF last week.
