RE: Who here strictly bowhunts?
I have only hunted with a gun about 4 times. That was actually my first exposure to hunting. I never hunted with a bow before then so I had nothing to compare it with. Once I picked up the bow, I was truly hooked.
I live in Suffolk County NY and it is bow only except for like a two week shot gun season in December (I don't usually go as it is weekdays only).
I am strictly a bow hunter at this point. I haven't ventured upstate for rifle season in over 5 years. (the only thing I miss is the experience of being away from home and the comradarie)
There's nothing like bowhunting though IMHO.
