Default Are You a (Modern Traditionalist) MLer and Bow ONLY?

Im just Courious to see how many of you are True Traditionalist on this Forum. Do you Only Hunt with a Bow and Muzzleloader?
I do and am a Traditionalist. I gave up the Shotgun and Rifle years and years ago. I believe in the (One Shot one Kill) rule and it makes me feel better inside knowing I Harvested My Animal the way My Forefathers did.
OK,,,,,,I know My Compound Bow is No Recurve and My Inline MLer is no Smoothbore Frontstuffer so Please no Comments on how there really not Traditional.
To me taking a Deer at 400 yds that dont even know your there with a Rifle is just no challange, or blasting away 5 shots at one with a Shotgun as it runs away getting it one the last shot just is'nt the same.
I get Razzed all the time During Shotgun Season by My Buddies for using My MLer and only having One Shot, they say ya know your gonna wish you had your Shotgun and that next shot when that Big Buck steps out or runs by after you shoot that Big Doe.
Are there anyothers out there like me? or do you just ML Hunt to extend your Season? And I know there's many Bow Hunters who also Rifle, Shotgun and ML Hunt, but have any gave up the others to go just Traditional?
