I spend the majority of my time hunting with my bow, but I do take my rifle out sometimes, and my flintlock too. I also use my shotgun for small game and turkey.

Basically, I do a lot of bowhunting, but I also have uses for many other types of weapons.

Mostly bowhunt in our lease and rifle hunt later in season. Don't own too any rifles. Still hunt with my ole trusty 30-30. Hardly ever shoot anything with rifle over 50 yards.

I bowhunt only for bear and elk. I will bring out the old rifle for some high desert mulie hunts but that is about it for rifle. I would say that 95% of my hunting is done with a bow.

RE: What weapons do you hunt with besides a bow?

I spend most of my days with bow in hand! I'll shotgun hunt just cause I can! This will be my first year with my .50 Lyman Muzzleloader! I'll use that for the gun season in Wisconsin and use the .35 Remington for the rifle hunt in Michigan! Then Muzzleload hunt again in Wi & Mi! I can't wait!

Cheers!

I mostly bowhunt, but will also use the muzzleloader. For the most part, the rifle only comes out 2-3 times a season.
Turkey with shotgun and bow.
Small game with shotgun.

I bow hunt that's all I do I'd rather take any citter out there in them woods.
I think it's more challening to take'em with a bow.
I have nothing againts gun in fact I'm a firm beleaver in the 2nd amendt I just don't have a personle use for one.
