First let me introduce myself. I am part of a group of four hunters that have hunted elk in unit 80 since 1985. I have been lurking here for a while and decided to register and join in.
A couple of us and my son and two of his friends decided that we would like to try archery hunting next year.
Looking at the Big Bame Brochure it looks like black powder season will fall on the week we wanted to be there for archery hunting, second week of September. Then I see a note that says that black powder is limited draw for certian units only, but then there is a note about statewide black powder hunting. Very confusing.
We would perfer not to be in the woods while there are black powder hunters and I think we would also need to wear orange, if I read the regs correctly.
Can anyone answer our questions?
Thanks

Unit 80 is part of the statewide muzzleloader tag, so any muzzleloader hunter can hunt unit 80. Hunters Orange in not required by archery hunters during MZ season but muzzleloader hunters will be required to wear the required amount of hunters orange.
