how many people have gave up gun hunting sice they started bowhunting i am 17 and when i was 12 - 13 i gun hunted and that was it but when i was 14 i started bowhunting and gun season wasnt nearly as fun as bowhunting seeing deer be deer and not scared poopless

I've completely given up hunting with a gun for anything butfeathered animals and varmits.

I gave up rifles in 1979. Bow only.

It's been 4 years since I fired a gun....... I went about 3 years before that of bow only and then used the gun for a couple years and now I'm back to bow only......

I haven't given it up yet but it simply does not compare to the bow. Gun season for me has become a time to drink beer, play cards and talk stupid with the boys. My stand becomes a good place to take a nap so I can do it again that night.

I haven't given up but I don't enjoy being out in the woods with a gun. I mmuch prefer a bow, I may not even go out with a gun this year.

I prefer the stick and string, but i use a rifle shotgun and muzzleloader.

I use my shotgunmaybe once or twice a season for asmall game or dove hunt. For any deer season I grab the bow.

I still gun hunt, but it doesn't get me excited like bow hunting does.

I was thinking about it on stand tonight, and i think that bow hunting will make you a better all-around hunter, far more than any other type of hunting.

Big game with bow only for me.
