Youth Mentor Hunt - Carrying 2 weapons legal?

[Lilpig]

I am taking by boys out archery this weekend with a crossbow. Both qualify for the mentor hunt.

The area we will be at has a huge population of squirrels and I want my boys to enjoy the day and what better way to enjoy hunting than harvesting game, big or small.

So I wanted to know if we can take one crossbow and one .22 rifle with us when they are being mentored. Would we be breaking the law? Don't want to teach that!

If we do we would of course put orange on once we switch to squirrel.

Any ideas?

Nope.

From the digest (don't you have one?)

A Mentor may not accompany more than one youngster (Mentored Youth or Licensed Junior Hunter) at any given time while participating
in the Mentored Youth Hunting Program. (A supervising adult can accompany any number of junior hunters outside of the Mentored Youth
Hunting Program.)
— A Mentor and Mentored Youth may not collectively possess more than one lawful hunting device at any given time while engaged in hunting
or related activities. Mentor must carry the lawful device in transit to and from the spot.
