Like Dave, I prefer to hunt with bow on the majority of days that I spend in the woods, however, I will pull out the shotgun and BP rifles when the season comes around in a week. The good thing for me is that I have one piece of property that is strictly bow (unless poachers come on), so the deer on that land shouldn't get too skittish come the gun season.

One thing I hate about the gun season here in Harford County, is that the woods become FILLED with people and a lot of the time they don't even have permission to be where they are. [:@]
