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.

RE: Do you hunt with bow only for whitetails
I've only recently picked up the bow to hunt other areas during the primitive weapons seasons. I have no intention of giving up my main source of freezer fillers. I hunt mostly with my Marlin 30/30 and sometimes the Rem 270.
Theres a couple of areas I hunt that a rifle is just becoming inappropiate. I like the fact that I can take deer here now without causing alarm to nearby neighbors.

I got burned out with hunting deer with rifle back in 98. It was not enough challenge anymore for me. I took 4 years off hunting deer, untill I got the urge (BowBug) again. Now strickly Bow season only. I just can't get enough of it.

I hunt with my bow from opener until gun season. I have always hunting with my dad and he hunts first gun season so I trade my bow for a gun. Then I get the muzzleloader out.

RE: Do you hunt with bow only for whitetails
I bowhunt only for whitetails for these reasons............I spend enough time bowhunting that my wife wants me to take a break, I just don't enjoy taking a deer with a gun nearly as much, and its too crowded in firearms season for me.
