I have hunted with a bow, a shotgun, a rifle and a handgun.. I just enjoy being in the woods and will hunt all possible seasons..
Now my favorite is archery but that's not all I do..

I would hunt bow only if it didn't mean that I would miss out on a great week of socializing with the guys at gun camp. I much prefer hunting with a bow, but a week at deer camp is an annual trip that I wouldn't miss for anything, too many great guys, dogs, stories etc. For me the gun hunt is more about camp than the hunt.

I've hunted with a rifle only once in the last 4 seasons and that was only because my dad gave me his deer rifle. Just thought it would be cool to kill one w/ the old man's gun, and it was.

RE: Do you hunt with bow only for whitetails
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 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.
