for people who cant bow hunt or cant bow hunt enough im glad to see them kill a deer with a gun but for me i just look at gun hunting like putting meat in the freezer, i hate being out there with it but enjoy going with people who enjoy doing it. i shot my oldest widest racked buck ever with a gun at 15yrds (i hunted with the bow durring gun season until this day) i proud of the deer but honestly not really happy that i shot it with the gun. once you get good with the bow it just doesnt feel like you did your best when you get them with the gun, i dont know but id rather shoot a 6pt with the bow then a record setting buck with the gun, maybe its just the orange army here in pa but shooting a huge one here in pa in rifle is usual just cause he was running out of places to hide and ran past you. i have a spot i see a few deer most days of archery but i take people in on the first three days of gun and i will see at least 30 deer within the first morning and usually same deer keep running back and forth, its feels like a joke shooting one this way when you know you can track one down and get him with the bow at 50yrds or less. just how i feel. keep at it and be mindful that being new youmay have a few misses before you get those nerves down enough to connect.
