I was born with a bow where my left arm should be, so it just came natural.

I said "Just cant stop HUNTIN'" because I think it incorporates the above choices into it. Seeing the animals and enjoying the woods are parts of hunting that I love, which is why I can't stop.

The "Killing" thread is a very good topic that I think everyone should look into.

I like the challenge of bowhunting. Hunting with a gun just isnt a challenge anymore. WHen you are hunting with a gun, you see a deer shoot it and then its done. It could be hundred yards out or farther. But with a bow, you have to "outsmart" the deer. It is being more of a complete hunter.

that old heart attack feeling you get when you hear something walking your way in the woods that you "KNOW" "HAS" to be a deer coming but it ends up being a squirrel.

Then the heart attack feeling when you see a deer from a long ways off butyou instantly feel the calm andknow that "yes,it's comin my way" and you get the focus going.

It gives me the chills and the teary eyesjust thinking about it and I don'tknowof anything else that will.

As with most, there are multiple reasons. But first on my list is time, slug season around here is either 2 or 4 days (you pick first or second season) Bow season is 3 and 1/2 months. Gives me alot more options to get into the woods and have options on which deer to take a shot at, instead of just plugging aways at the first one that walks by.
