I strictly bowhunt only for deer and turkey. Gun hunting just seemed too easy and wasn' t fun anymore.

Bow-only here. If I can' t get close, then let it walk. Also more gratifying.

I do both. Its Hard to say which I like better. Its the Hunt not the Weapon But I do Prefer to take at least one with the Bow, it takes the pressure off come shotgun season. Love to watch them up close under my tree so I Guess Bow Hunting gets my vote.

I do both. I bow hunt for deer and rifle hunt for elk. I love my rifles almost as much as my bow. But the primary reason I rifle hunt for elk is because I love hunting with the guys I have been hunting with for years, and they all still rifle hunt. I just couldn' t give up elk camp.

I do both. I love my bowhunting, can' t get enough time in the woods if I hunt every day and I hunt with the gun out of tradition with a few friends.

I bowhunt only. I just think it is more of a challenge than gun hunting and the season lasts alot longer.
Here in Missouri, I bowhunt during the regular firearms season using a firearms permit.

Bow only for now. But I am interested in getting a muzzle loader for turkey.

When I am out with the bow it just seems like the whole world disappears. It' s just me, the bow, the trees, and the wind. And oh yea, the ever elusive deer.

Bowhunt deer and turks! Found that gun hunting deer and keeping large parties off your ground was nearly impossible. Unfortunately, we don' t own any ground and it became a little too dangerous. We do try late season muzzleloader, but it' s not the same as the bow!

Bow is by far my favorite way to hunt--after starting to bowhunt i would almost feel guilty about gun hunting but if i don' t have venison by gun hunting opener i will use a gun.I do want to take a good deer with a bow but i also like venison--ALOT!
