Self Bow

Bow Hunting: If you take the animal with your backup firearm in defense are you allowed to keep the carcass?
With hogs in Texas you are, but I was just curious about other animals in other places. (Dangerous game of course, no blasting turkey's in self defense)
In my state (Arkansas) your not even allowed a side arm during bow season. If you have a side arm, Mr Warden wont be happy!
I once had a heck of a run in with a black bear while bow hunting whitetails. I was walking out and I kept hearing something behind me, so I stopped behind a tree and waited. A few minutes later a monster of a black bear came around with nose in the air. He saw me, I saw him.. he stood up.. I drew, took aim and hit him in the right side of the chest. After 2 more arrows (all I had left) he was still thrashing, clawing, and biting.
I sat and waited for about 5 minutes but that bear was still moving around so made a WIDE circle around him to get back to the truck and fetch my revolver. Went back and finished him off.
Yeah, I called the warden for if no other reason than to prove that this happened lol They came out there like CSI and they asked over and over if I had the revolver on me at the time or if I had really went back and got it out of the truck. I had to walk them through the whole thing over and over again. After they did all their measuring and poking around they sided with me and I walked away with nothing more than a hassle.
Moral of the story is, I should be allowed to carry a side arm bow season or not. I could have easily been seriously injured by this bear and it all could have been avoided had I been able to carry my boom stick. I understand they dont want people popping off revolvers during bow season but seriously, come on AGFG!!
BTW, the bear was just shy of 500 pounds. Couldnt even eat it, by the time the wardens got done poking it was already to late. What a waste.
