I have.But I've used everything that can be used.

I love bowhunting but i take advantage of the gun season and use my rifle to try to harvest bucks.

Yeah, I really don't understand that statement either, please expound?



I've bowhunted during firearms season on many occassions and my main goal is to take deer as ethically as possible too. [:-]

I do. I usually see more deer because the orange army really pushes them around. Two years ago at my dad's property I hunted 10 times during bow season andonly saw 3deer. The opening day of gun season I counted 21 in the first two hours! It's too good not to be out there when the guns are going off.

If I still have an archery tage to fill and have already filled my rifle tag(s) I will definately be ou there with the bow

Depends.

If I don't kill anything with my bow before gun season opens, then yeah, I'll gun hunt till I put some meat in the freezer, then I will go back to bowhunting.

If I kill 2 with my bow before gun season, then I will bowhunt the entire season.

I love bowhunting, but my #1 goal is to put meat in the freezer and if I'm not having any luck doing that with my bow, then I will go out with the rifle.

I hunt with my bow during firearms season. I just have no desire to do it any other way.

Yep. Here in Texas its too hot during the bow only season. I usually dont see any quality deer until rifle season starts. Last year I tagged all my deer 2 month after bow season

I am going to this year if they keep the new bowhunting only area open.

I've done it for years in Muzzleloader and firearms season. I figure all they do is move some deer around that might otherwise not come into my neck of the woods. I'm almost thinking of taking out a muzzleloader tomorrow in the morning rain. But I know as soon as I do that nice deer will walk up at 20 yards and I'll say, "Why didn't I bring my bow"? That would be most depressing.
