RE: Are you exclusively an archery hunter ?!?
In regards to time spent it is pretty evenly divided for me,and as one poster has already stated I enjoy the differences between them.Bowhunting deer is mostly a sit and wait endeavor and doesn't nearly as easily lend itself to mobility.I love having a rifle in my hand and covering miles and miles hunting while scouting new and different area's.The satisfaction that comes from sneaking up on a big buck and killing it or tracking it and killing it are very close to the satisfaction that I feel when arrowing anice buck.Thinking and implementing strategy while on the move and processing all the variables is challenging and fun! I would not want to have to eliminate any of the methods available to me.

RE: Are you exclusively an archery hunter ?!?
I spend much more time bow hunting than shotgun (or ML) hunting. That is partly due to the length of the seasons here, but I am hooked on bowhunting and love it.
I am with MagicMan, though. If they let me use a spear, I would be sharpening that bugger right now.

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!

Yep, I kind of forgot to make a poll option for Bow AND Gun....
Sounds good Arthur, I love my muzzleloader. I want to get a Fling-lock or Wheel-Lock one day.
I voted for "Bow mostly. Some Gun" even though it's not a precise fit for me. Last year was my first year bow hunting, and I'm hooked for life. I don't, however, see me hanging up my rifle, muzzle loader or shotgun.... ever. I'm a "hunter", plain and simple, and I enjoy hunting using each and every method available to me.
