I hunt with bow, rifle, shotgun, and muzzleloader. Do you " bow only" guys understand that it is possible to hunt in solitude and take " bow distance" shots with a gun or muzzleloader? Have you ever setup in thick cover with a gun where 50 yds is as far as you can see? You know, the kind of cover where deer just " appear" . You won' t see many other hunters there either. I love to bow hunt too but I am not so arrogant as to criticize those that hunt with a gun. A quality experience can be had with many different types of weapons. When you limit yourself like this you simply show your ignorance and lack of creativity. You should try thinking outside of the box you might be amazed at your discoveries. Actually, disregard the above rant, it makes more room in the woods for " barbarians" like myself.
