I mostly bowhunt but i do like to gun hunt when gun season is in mostly because my son and daughter want to go and it' s hard to put them in a bow stand with me. I never take both gun and bow with me at the same time though because like already mentioned i think your focus would be lost. I don' t have to worry about seeing a big buck thats out of range while bowhunting because i hunt thick woods and my bow stands are set up so that my longest shot is 30yds tops. My rifle stands are totally different and are set up over fields and cutovers.
