I was wondering how many of you guys use a bow during your rifle season? I am going to more than likely still use my rifle this year but use my bow during muzzleloader. What about you guys?

I use my bow during any legal season. Though I do have a shotgun which I take small game or bird hunting a couple times each year.

No not me normally ,unless it is a special regs area

I took this buck with my bow last year on the 1st day of rifle season here in PA. It was a 6 yard shot. Can you imagine what a rifle would have done to it at that distance? It wouldn't have been much of a challenge either.

Nice buck. I would just be afraid of seeing a nice buck out of bow range and not having another chance with him.

Don't do it! Winners never cheat, and cheatersnever win!

I've thought about taking the bow in rifle season, but I opted to start handgun hunting. That is a lot of fun, and still need the deer pretty close. What can I say, sometimes I just like my weapon to go BANG!

I'm with Jeremy. What's a gun?

To me, taking up bow hunting is kinda like getting a new pup that you really like but you still have the old dog that you've loved and that love won't go away even though the new pup gets a lot of attention. Having said that, I just can't wait for the thrill of another bow hunt and can't quite say that about my next gun hunt. It gets to ya.

I bow hunt all the seasons. I use a gun for trap.
