Knife law question while hunting.

[mecam]

I'm getting different answers from different people, but I was told that you can conceal a fixed blade while hunting with a hunting license. Scenario is I'll be wearing a jacket during the winter while hunting and at least 2/3 of my fixed blade knife holster/sheath will be covered from my belt waist down. Am I good to go? Thx.

Hmm I've never heard that one, though I won't swear it's false.
Folks post up the knife law from time to time when the subject comes up and I can't remember ever reading a hunting exemption.

I've never even thought about this when i've carried a fixed blade on my belt when hunting big game. Considering I have a bang stick in my hand the knife seems inconsequential and of little importance. Hopefully there isn't some stupid law saying otherwise.

I don't think ive read a hunting exemption.

Can't say I've ever looked it up specifically however

i used to carry a knife on my belt while hunting but anymore I just through it in my pack, there isn't really any reason to carry it on my belt.

Seems odd that it would be a problem when you can ccw without a ccw when engaged in hunting. I carry a sideram when hunting and when it is cold I will cover it with a jacket. Although I have never been stopped and hassled about it it would seem that a knife should be under the same category. Like the above poster said call the DFG and ask for sure.

If they tellou it is legal I would ask for a refernce to the code so that you can print it out and carry it with you just in case you are stopedby LEO while hunting and are hassled about it!

Actually, your hunting license acts as your CCW license when you are hunting.

I talked to LE department of Ukiah BLM about this before and they said that if I don't have a CCW, I can not conceal a sidearm and doesn't matter if I have my hunting lic with me inside BLM land. Sucks that LEAs are not all on the same page. I'm sure they'll say the same thing about knives.
