RE: Who here strictly bowhunts?
I hunt with both bow and rifle. This year took a doe before gun season with my bow and a small rack 8 point with my rifle during firearms season. I really got into archery hunting this year spending alot more time in the woods. Have to say that I felt better about the doe I harvested with bow than the buck with rifle.
I don't want to say that there is anything wrong with rifle hunting. Its just that it doesn't seem as challenging. By that I mean you just don't have to get as close to the game and fool their senses as much. Guess that is why I choose to archery hunt over rifle most of the time.
