Here in Arkansas, bow season runs from Oct. 1st to Feb. 28th. You can use the bow even during other types ofdeerseasons.

Bow, Muzzleloader, Rifle. If there was a spearing season, I'd do that too.

I haven't used a gun since I was twentyone , bowhunting is more challenging and reqiures more skill.
The compound bow is the only weapon I use to hunt deer , bear , turkey and anything else for that matter.
Dang grandpa, we think a like. However, I do shot sporting clays to have a blast and went duck hunting last weekend.

Both bow and rifle.

I enjoy bowhunting much, much more than rifle hunting.I rifle hunt because it's when the family gets together and just hangs out. Wouldn't miss it for the world. Bowhunting is my true passion though.

Growing up in Wis., There have always been two seasons for me. Archery and Gun. I hunt both because archery is always closed during gun. I still want to be out there hunting deer. Besides, Gun hunting is a tradition for me. It is a time where family and friends are in much closer contact, where archery for me is mostly just me. Bow and Gun for me.
I could not have siad that better. Ditto for me .... except I have always lived in WNY .....

I highly doubt I'll ever hunt big game with a firearm again.
