Thanks for the info!

Anyone have any information about what's legal/ illegal with regards to carrying a pistol when deer hunting during regular season? I just got my pistol permit (finally..... applied in January 2012) and there seems to be a lack of information about specifically what is allowed. Any links to this information would be most helpful. The DEC website and 2013-2014 Hunting & Trapping guide doesn't seem to cover this topic very well. Specifically.... Can you carry a handgun while hunting with a shotgun? If so, are there caliber limits/ restrictions or shot limits/ restrictions as far as how many bullets can be in the magazine? Assuming you can carry a pistol with you while shotgun hunting, is it legal to use that as a secondary firearm to put a kill shot into a deer? I've read that you can't carry for this purpose during bow season which makes sense but what about Muzzleloading? Thanks!!
