It all depends. If its late in the season and I need to put meat in the freezer I take both. If the deer comes into bow range I use my bow. If not, then it gets a 150gr. corelokt from my .270win.

i've not been on my first archery hunt yet, but my tac on this is just to use whatever means is best given the situation... some places I hunt lend themselves to guns better than bows... some places are gonna be better for bows... I take the weapon that happens to be the best for my situation (given the season I'm in)

I have not used a gun for deer hunting in 12 years.However, I took up turkey hunting last year and bought a Mossberg 535. This spring I will be bowhunting gobblers though and the kids can use the gun.

I love to hunt, I will use any weapon that will put in the woods legally! Hunting is my passion with bow at the top of the list of weapons then my Flintlock!

bow only,but just tried ML for the first time this year.First time in 15yrs I have carried a firearm in the woods for deer. I didn't get into it the way I do with my bow and saw very few deer.I have always been more lucky with my bow,or maybe I just try alot harder with the bow??

I hunt only with Archery but will not swear off other means by other hunters.

The only firearms I currently own are a pistol and a shotgun. I sold my rifles a long time ago.

The only thing I'll break out a gun for is small game such as squirrels (usually .22) or rabbit hunting. On the rare occasion I get to go dove hunting these days, I'll take my scattergun.

Anything large game is bow only for me.
