I rifle hunt as well. Since I seriously got into bow hunting (6 yrs ago) I have been obsessed w/ it. Its to the point that i dread rifle season, because it ruins the bow hunting. The deer act totally different and more natural during bow season and it is 1000x more exciting to kill a deer w/ a bow than rifle. I have about 2.5 months of bow season before gun season starts, which gives me alot of time to find a deer and hunt it, making it much more challenging and exciting. I love bowhunting. Once you go bow you never go back.
