if the post came across as negative i didn't mean it to be. the guy is absolutely a great guy, just to hang around with and to hunt with and everything. i congratulated him when i heard. i have shot deer with a gun at 5 yards, and i've shot deer with a bow at 5 yards. in fact i'll be taking the muzzleloader out for a deer in a few weeks.
i think davidmil hit it on the head though.. i enjoy hunting with a gun, but its bowhunting i'm passionate about. maybe it's because the playing field is so much more even.

I know exactly what you are feeling bowhuntn87. My friend and I got a buddy into bow hunting and he killed a 160 inch monster his 5th time out with his bow. My friend and I helped him out with everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. We even built a ground blind for him and what do you know, a monster buck stepped out and stopped for him at 20 yrds. Unbelievable. He is on his own this year

To me, I am happier taking a smaller buck with a bow rather than a larger buck with a rifle.This may sound crazy but it just goes to showhow much archery means to me and how much I love to do it.Be proud of what you doin archery seasonand congratulate those lucky enough tokill a deer in rifle season.
