RE: Are you exclusively an archery hunter ?!?

I have to say bow only since i don't own a gun. But if i would I would go bow then with the gun in rifle season.

Bow only for the last 3 years....sold my shotgun this year. As for now, I don't see myself going back to the gun.

I use what ever I feel like using that given day as long as its legal. I like my Guns and Hunting to much to go Bow only! To much Family Tradition with gun hunting in my Family that I would miss out on if I was a Bow only hunter!

There's no reason to explain yourself BHF! Who cares what others think as long as your happy doing what you want to do.

As for myself all I do is bow hunt. Gun hunting has never appealed to me or my family. All in all we need gun hunters around to keep the deer herd in check. I just wish the gun season was moved back later in the season for deer hunting. I take my 870 Remeington 12 gauge out and pheasant and duck hunt with it. Its a blast and I love seeing my dog's work through out the years!

Bow only.

Only thing I use a gun for is trap shooting, and pheasant hunting.

I have no problem with rifles, or ML's, or anything. If I did, I'd have a problem with most my friends and family

How can you be "Bow only" if you hunt with a Shotgun for pheasants???

I tried to think of some smart ass comment...I couldn't.

Touche, sir.

I'm not BOW ONLY. [8D]

Its all good Kyle.... I was just busting your chops a bit!!!!!!!

I voted Bow and some Gun.... It was the closest match for my style of hunting! I hunt with all types of weapons, Compound, Longbow, Flintlock, Rifle and Shotgun..... this pretty much keeps me in the woods hunting something year round!!!!!!
