My brother was drawn for a bear tag. I'm going with him. Does anyone know if it's legal to OC a 4" .44 revolver while on the hunt? I think hunting regs say that you cannot hunt with a handgun under 6". I will be hunting with a rifle. The wheel gun is just for defense. Also, does anyone have aclue on how to hunt bear?
You can hunt coyote year round in Maryland with no season, no bag limit, no safety orange requirement, and no requirement for the weapon used.
You can carry the 4” bbl revolver solely as defense when archery hunting. You cannot carry a “hunting legal” revolver to use as defense weapon, hence the 4” bbl limit. Need a 6” bbl to hunt. You won’t need a handgun as protection when hunting bear with a rifle. If things go so south with a high power firearm in your hand that you need a backup defense piece, perhaps you shouldn’t go this time around. Now if you carry a legal hunting revolver and possibly get a shot at a bear with it in lieu of the rifle, that would be an awesome achievement, and a lasting memory.My brother was drawn for a bear tag.
