Bring a big knife.

That's my favorite way to kill them.

I was actually thinking about bow hunting this year, but I will just go with a .22 mag, so the pistol would be a moot point anyways, if I were to get checked.

My 357 SIG would be on my hip. It would kick the shite out of anything furry that wanted to mess with me. Worst comes to worst, it's loud enough to scare the shite out of it when I missed.

I believe a .22 with rat shot is the biggest you can carry while bow hunting.

For a confusing discussion on this exact topic, check out this thread from a month ago:

I was under the impression that you can conceal during bow season too...

Seems retarded since you're in the woods anyway though.

You may not get ticketed if it stays concealed. But I can't say for certain.

just got the new regulation book for this year and it doesn't say anything for bowhunting. it does specify you can only carry a .22 with rat shot during primitive weapon though.

I do not know about LA but in Georgia if you have a pistol carry permit you can carry a pistol anywhere outside while hunting if you want too.
