I am a bow hunter only too, its hurts sometime when you have a nice buck 80 or 90 yds out a can not do anything but plan for next hunt.

wish i could say that. ive only been hunting for6 years (16 yo), and i just cant seem to grab the bow during rifle rut season. i tell myself to do so, and i do enjoy bowhunting more, but i cant seem to pass up my .270 because of 80 yard encounters with shootable deer in bow season. I will say that over the entire course of the season, i stillspend more days with a bow than gun.

bow season sept tojan
gun 3 weeks in november
muzzleloader 2 weekends one in oct one in dec.

kinda evens out when you compare 5 weekends to 5 months.

Bow only for deer for the past 5 years. I still bring out the shotgun for turkeys and dove( I would like to see someone shoot dove with a bow). I use my 17 cal for coyotes, squirelsand ground hogs.

Bowhunting's it for me... sold my high-powered rifles soon after I started bowhunting.

Bare hands, rocks, sticks, knives, bows, guns...I'm not caught up so much with the "hows"as I am with the "whens and whys". If I'm trying to help a family in need of food, for example and time is of the essences, I expedite the hunt and pull out the rifle. If I'm required to stick closely to ahunter unskilled in the woods (e.g. child), again the rifle is in tow (but rarely used). I have also had hand/arm/shoulder injuries which forced me to select alternative weapons (e.g. crossbow). I love the woods too much to sitin the dugout. Moreover, themeat goes a long way in my family. In general though, I prefer hunting with my bow over all other means.

I feel blessed to be in the woods...sometimes hunting with only a camera. However, I'm too practical. I would rather fill a tag (on which I've spent good money)than eat tag soup. If I were bow hunting and, on the last day of the hunt, my guide handed me a rifle...it's bye-bye bou!
