Yep! Here in Virginia, as stated, you can carry as long you have a CWP. Why do I carry? Same reason I carry any other time. Personal defense. Be it bear, racoon, coyote,............. or human. Those humans seem to be the creatures that trespass more often. Never had a bear steal a tree stand. Never had a racoon poach deer. Yep. Those humans. So much respect for the law and the personal property of others.

I carry my Ruger SP101 .327 when bowhunting in WV. it is legal if you have a concealed carry permit. I carry it just incase some 2 legged creature decides that I am an easy target while deep in the woods.

I carry my .44mag for bear protection when im bow hunting. Ive had too many close encounters and its nice to have it if I need it. I have had to draw it a few times on bears in the last couple years. And its nice for the occasional yote that comes around just outside bow range

Doesn't it really seem stupid. if you have the proper permit, you can carry at the grocery store, the library or even Walmart, but you can't carry in the woods if you are archery hunting.
I carry but its not for snakes or coyotes or bears, its for people.
