your addiction wont fade. It may become less of a priority at times in your life but you will never lose the addiction. i completely agree with you about what you said about bowhunting and deer hunting. bow hunting, regardless of critter, imo is a sport on its own. althoughh i dont get enough time to hunt and will probably not take a buck for my second year in a row
i will still continue to bowhunt only. when i take a gun, i feel as though its a copout b/c i havent put the time in to be successful. and guys, i dont mean that for everybody, i just mean my situation b/c my lack of time to hunt. i would honestly rather have two or three doe bow kills than a buck gun kill in a season. Unless of course, it was a freaking monster or something lol!!! good luck and welcome to a new lifestyle.
