How does this work? Anything different about OC'ing while hunting, like how many rounds you may have?
Thanks for the help ya'll!
About the only difference I can think of is that you can't carry a handgun while bow hunting unless you have a CPL.
ARE YOU SURE OF THIS? I thought this was changed.
But as far as hunting with a handgun, and carrying a handgun for self defense, it should be the same, except you can't hunt large game with a .22

[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"]Archery Deer Seasons
During the archery deer seasons, it is illegal to carry afield a pistol, revolver or other firearm while bow hunting for deer.
Exceptions: This prohibition does not apply to pistols carried under authority of a concealed pistol license or properly carried under authority of a specific exception from the requirement of a concealed pistol license. However, a concealed pistol license does not authorize the individual to use the pistol to take game except as provided by law.[/font][/size]
Would an exception from the requirement be to OC without a CPL???? Just saying.
I don't think so. Here are the applicable MCL's:
