buck with bow during gun season
 
well I finally did it. Proved that I didnt need to have a gun to shoot a decent buck in Michigan during the gun season. I shot a nice 8 point tonight at 20 yds with my bow. I am now tagged out and couldnt be prouder. Gun season should be two weeks later here in MIchigan then maybe we'd have some more quality bucks here.

HOw about bowhunters stop p&^%$ and moaning about having to "give up" time from there precious hunting. You have only been able to hunt since Sept. guns hunter get what 16 days. Give me a break.

Congrats on the buck, wheres the pics.

I think rifle season should be moved back two weeks here in Kansas also. I wish it would go to an archery only state. Think of the deer we would have then.

Congrats on the buck. Way to stick it out with your bow!

Missouri rifle/muzzleloader hunters get 31 days. It's ridiculous. We need one rifle season and that's it. Antlerless season is used as a poaching season for the road hunters.

Congrats on beating the odds but a picture would really help.

Either way, kudos for going against all odds. I hunt the PA gun season with my bow and I'm thinking that Michigan and PA are similar in their levels of gun hunter pressure.

My absolute best PA buck was shot with a bow during week 2 of the gun season
