Bow, Shotgun, and Blackpowder. I get a much greater satisfaction from my bow kills than with a gun, but love gun hunting as well. I spend more than three times as many days in the woods with the bow than both gun seasons combined. It' s no wonder I get more with the bow.

Rifle, ML, and bow. For me,I love them all. Each is a very different game. The reason I took up bow hunting was to get away from the crowds. I still enjoy deer camp with my buddies during the rifle and ML seasons.

I have been gun hunting 30 yrs bow hunting 2 yrs now, 2 bucks. 2 does, passed up
3 other small bucks and numerous does.The only reason I still gun hunt is because my kids like it and I have younger kids becoming old enough to gun
hunt. I just wish I would of picked up bow hunting along time ago.

I' ve only been deer hunting for 4 years. The first was gun only. I picked up a bow for the second, and have a hard time putting it down. I might gun hunt 2-3 days in a season. The rest, I bowhunt. I have yet to take a shot at a deer with my rifle. I have killed 3 deer with my bow. I am considering selling the rifle.

I love bowhunting!!!!!! Moreso, however, I love to hunt. I own a gun, I shoot it a bit to stay a good shot. I get out a couple times a year to gun hunt....just to stay in the woods.
This year, however, I only got out once, and did' nt shoot a deer. I also picked up a new " habit" this year. For now on, during gun season, I' m a duck hunter. This is the first year I have ever duck hunted, and I love it. As a matter of fact, shot my first duck this past weekend. My first ever duck was a very nice bufflehead, which I' m getting mounted. Then I also got a scaup, which I breasted, and will cook up in a couple days.
