chrisw Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Don't know of any reason you couldn't. I carry my pistol and my rifle during deer season. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rim fire and center fire .22 and under are allowed during the day where there is an open deer season. Rifles are not allowed in certain counties and specific properties, so you must follow those rules as well.

X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems .22 rimfire is allowed in any county for small game during an open deer season as far as I know. Nothing larger and no center fire rifles during the open deer season in shotgun only areas for deer.

All rimfire during open deer season is ok, but not all counties allow rifles. Center fire less than .22 is allowed during open deer season for small game. (.22 might also be allowed, but not 100% sure).

X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems Long island and Westchester counties are the only exceptions, where rifle use of any kind is prohibited...which I'm assuming the OP is already aware that rifle use is legal in his area as the legality of using his .22 rimfire was not the question...Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk I generally don't like to assume, that's where misunderstandings begin. You're also forgetting unit 2A does not allow the use of rifles for hunting also. There are also properties within rifle counties that do not allow the use of rifles.
