RE: Just Bowhunt?
 

Bears - bow hunt only. Every other biggame animal I just hunt. While bowhunting has allure for sure. I just love hunting and find them all to be equally enjoyable. 100% honest, I have just as much joy harvesting with an arrow as a bullet and see no difference. My standards as a trophy hunter remain unchanged regardless of the weapon.....that is the challenge for me.

The only time I shotgun hunt for deer is if I wasn' t able to connect with two deer during archery.

For the last 15 years I' ve been bow only and don' t ever see that changing. To me bowhunting is the ultimate challenge.

Bow Only from 1963 to present with a four year rifle stint between 1983 and 1987.

For big game it' s bowhunting only. For small game and such I might break out a rifle or shotgun.

I like to do both. I will only bow hunt for elk though. It is just way more exciting to get close to those bulls. I usually save deer hunting for a gun just to extend my season. I like the gun every once in awhile.:D

Gun and Bow with Bow being used 95% or more of the time. Nothing like taking game with the bow!

RE: Just Bowhunt?
 

do both but prefer bow. like to see the whites of their eyes. and gun hunting just is too darn easy.

RE: Just Bowhunt?
 

I hunt bow, shotgun, and muzzleloader. As far as my favorite it is bow. The deer are much more relaxed in the early season. I hate to see deer run past me during shotgun season panting like crazy and looking scared out of there minds.

Just got into bowhunting, but will be doing both. Got into bowhunting primarily for the added challenge, love the idea of being able to get a deer to wonder within 20 yds of your stand cause you don' t have to wear hunter orange, AND because of the 90+ days of deer hunting in a year that it brings with it.
