Good luck! I can't wait for our gun season. I'm going to miss the first gun season but I'll make the second one.

I also have the same rifle......er three of them.

Don't be crazy, Aaron. Have fun with whatever you use as a weapon.

You've taken 3 whitetails with your bow this year.....and you're learning at a rapid pace. You've become a really good hunter.

Go and have fun.

I like bow hunting better, but I never miss out on gun season. I got my buck this year with my bow, and the biggest one I have ever shot, gun or bow. I am hoping gun season will be just a productive. I am giving up sitting in my own stand this year so I can sit with my wife and try and get her something. She has been hunting for about 5 years now and has yet to get a deer. She only hunts gun season. She doesn't have allot of time to hunt this year with work and college, so I will help her out this year. I have always put her in a good stand but she hasn't been able to get a deer. She missed one a couple years ago and another because her glove got caught behind the trigger and gunwouldn't shoot. GL to all that will be out there this gun season and please be safe and know your target and beyond

Good luck Aaron! No shame is using the rifle.

Take both to the stand!

If he comes out close = bow

If he comes out at 200 yds = rifle

Good luck and have fun.

Aaron I would have got my left pinky to have had a gun last night. I had a 130" 8 pointer 46 yards behind me making a licking branch out of every tree he could find. All I could do was watch, come Saturday I will be carrying the smoke pole. The guy that hunts the adjoining land has killed two bucks this year that both will go over 140 (147 and 144 respectively).

Nope, never. The only thing we'd look down on you for is not posting pics!!!!! Good Luck.

I love gun season ALMOSt as much as bow .... and since I have had the worst bow season so far, I am looking forward to tomorrow

I'm headed out tomorrow as well with the cat floss for the opener in NY.

It's funny, because in 18 years of hunting with a gun and bow........all of the biggest bucks I've seen and taken have been with a bow. As a matter of fact, I've only seen 2 mature deer in the last 10 years while rifle hunting, and average that per year during bow season. It's still a lot of fun though, and in the areas I hunt I think it's actually harder to put a good buck down due to factors that we cannot control as hunters. I'll never look down on anyone for it, that's for sure. If I lived in a different part of the country I may not find the enjoyment in it, but for now it's something I really enjoy.

Have a blast, and shoot straight!

Firearm season is like a holiday here. I look more forward to it than the bow opener. Good luck to ya.
