Dilema!
 

Okay - so I am relatively new to bowhunting - but have gun hunted for years and have a very nice Browning. However, when I think about gun hunting - I have no desire - maybe it' s the blaze orange that' s the turn off, or perhaps the many times I' ve heard semi-autos blazing and elk running scattered like my wife at a shopping mall grand opening. :D

Anyhow - has anyone had this similar problem? If so, what did you do? Do I keep the rifle or what? It has no sentimental value to me at all.

I still own several shotguns, but I got rid of all my rifles. I bowhunt exclusively now. Keep at elast your favorite rifle in the event bowhunting is not your cup of tea.

keep the rifle ,you never know when you might need or want it , i get the same waybut i won' t sell my rifle i made that mistake a long time ago ,unless of course its no big hassle ,then you can use the money from selling it to buy a new bow!:D

Keep it! It' s not eating anything:D

I also have no real interest in rifle hunting but like last year I did resort to it to put meat in the frezer. The antler restrictions here in Pa. did a lot of us in. I have over the years sold hand guns and rifles and I can tell you that today I regret each one that I sold. If you don' t ned the money, hang on to them is my advice.

keep the gun!!! the way the world is now, you may just need it

I cant come to sellany of my guns for any reason... although i love bowhunting now more than shotgun season but i see itas i will always have my guns and then they will be handed down to my son and will hopefully stay in the family for many generations.

I have basically put gun hunting on the back burner and been strictly bowhunting for several years now and I' m keeping all my rifles so that I can hand down to my kids,just like my dad did with me. I have his rifles that was handed down to him from his father. So keep the guns,They will have senimental and price value down the road:D

I bowhunt nearly exclusively now, but I keep the guns I own anyway. They are a source of security and self defense that I plan to hand down to my kids.

I hunt all three seasons bow, blackpowder, and rifle, I love to hunt. In the last few years bowhunting has become my passion. It has become my favorite way to hunt. I still rifle hunt, but find myself passing on alot of deer in hopes I will have a chance on one during the second bow season. Anymore, I occasionally take a doe during rifle season.

Keep the rifle, you never know when you may need it. I have never sold any of my firearms and dont intend too. Dont know why, its just the way I feel.
