I gun hunted for about 15 years and loved it. 4 years ago a buddy kept raving aboutbowhunting and insisted on taking meout just to try it.I finally agreed and found myself holding a bow 20 ft up a tree. The very first time a deer walked by me, (though I didn't even get a shot) I knew I was addicted to that feeling. I hardly ever take my guns out of their cases now.
