I too enjoy some gun hunting as well. But, when it comes to bowhunting.. To me there is nothing that can compare with hearing the arrow hit it's mark! It is great to know that you can be stealthy enough to be capable to walk up with in close range on a deer and be able to take it home with ya. At least it used to be that way here. Now with a high winter kill and predators and the like it is not nearly the same. But it is the challenge of the hunt that I enjoy about bowhunting. Here we can only shoot a buck whether with a gun or a bow. I have seen several does this year so far. Hopefully a buck will show itself before long.
Also around our cities it is archery hunting only. The expanded archey zones allow us to shoot as many does as we want to. That is at $12 a tag for does as the cities are having problems with them. It is just hard to find a decent place to hunt there.
Good Luck with the bow hunting all..
