Wasn't really joking when I said squirrel hunting with a bow. I've killed 3 in one afternoon walking around during deer season. Good practice for stalking and a time killer until something shows up. I wore a Scentloc suit with the leafy cutouts to break up the lines. Squirrels really are pretty stupid to start with!
Why can’t you carry a gun while archery hunting deer in Illinois?

It's a 2nd Amendment issue and will be struck down if challenged. It happened in Wyoming with the National Parks.

MN is the same way. You can't carry a handgun while bow hunting unless you have a concealed carry license. Thankfully I have one so I don't have to worry about it! Like stated above, not sure how they justify this "law" as it's incredibly easy to tell a bullet hole from a broadhead hole.

A couple goes on vacation to a fishing resort in northern Minnesota.
The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn; the wife likes to read.
One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.
Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out.
She motors out a short distance, anchors, and continues to read her book.
Along comes a game warden in his boat.
He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?").
"You're in a restricted fishing area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at
any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.
"But I haven't touched you," says the game warden.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."
"Have a nice day ma'am", and he left.

Gotta imagine there were a bunch of incidents of guys shooting deer with shotguns during archery season and claiming they took it with their bows.
Walking around the house, maybe. Still wondering if stores are selling any ARs now that there is an injunction.
