I'm new here and its going to be my 1st year hunting on tensas or any nwr for that matter. So with the abundance of bears on tensas I was wondering if you could carry a sidearm. Also I have a hunters safety card but on the website it states a bowhunting safety card was wondering if my hunters safety course will do. Thanks for any advice as I am new to public land.

if you are used to hunting private land and are going to try public for the first time, prepare to be pissed...there are some real dipshits stumbling through the woods...

Tensas does not allow you to carry a firearm, or a limb saw or any arrows for your bow. They are actually not opening this season.
The new law that allows you to carry a firearm while bowhunting is for private land only i believe. Im certain its illegal on Tensas though.

No sidesteps are allowed on the refuge. I carry bear spray.

I'd suggest you google up the rules and call the office to ask. Fed land is a little different than state WMA's.

Tensas Brochure

I do not think you can carry a sidearm.

Bowhunter safety is a different course than Hunter safety. Different card.
