I just read the regulation changes today and if you have a CWP you can carry a handgun while archery and blackpowder hunting for protection. I am not sure what to think about this rule change. After packing a quartered elk five miles out of a wilderness area, being covered in blood, with nothing but a muzzleloader to defend myself I can see why it would be nice to have a sidearm. However, I can see how this may be abused, ie. people using it to dispatch wounded game.
