Is there anything as good as Bow Hunting in your book?

For me I love to fish. I would put surf fishing right up there with bow hunting. I absolutely love being ocean side, catching small fish only to bait them on bigger rods and throwing them out for bigger fish. I would also put Off Shore fishing up there with bow hunting except for the cost to go Off Shore.

How about you all. Is it strickly bow hunting all year long or do you do something else?

I also love to fish and baseball. But bow hunting and archery are my big hobbies.

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

Surf fishing is awesome. I also like fly fishing, catfishing, bass fishing, and would love bow fishing. Bow hunting is a little higher on my list because I love the woods.

Nothing else compares to bowhunting whitetails.

I bream and crappie fish and I trotline several times a year but I enjoy bass fishing the most of all of them and I bass fish 20-30 times a year but it doesn't even compare to bowhunting.

I turkey hunt a good bit. I love it. It's not even in the same park with bowhunting whitetails.

I duck hunt some it's fun to spend time with your buddies and see the mallards come into the timber and it's not even on the same map with bowhunting whitetails.

I catch frogs several times a year and it's a fun relaxed enjoyable outing, again not even comparable to bowhunting whitetails.

I squirrel hunt and dove hunt a couple of times a year. Again it's fun but not even close.

I predator hunt several times after deer season ends and I have to admit it's on the radar screen but a pretty distant second.

Bow hunting is fairly boring, I would much rather fish.

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

I love my offsore tuna and shark runs - I love the Salt water - Stripers, Weaks, and Blackfish, claming...etc. Its a close second but it ain't bowhunting.

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

man i love my saltwater fishing also due to i quide some in FL. on the flats but i would put sex up there :)

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

The only thing i like as much as bowhunting is hunting spring gobblers.

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

In the late summer and fall bow hunting and hunting in general are at the top of my list.

Winter is for fly tying.

Spring is for fly fishing.

Summer is for rest :)

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

I do a little fishing, hiking.

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

Nothing even compares!

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

Hunting related......absolutely nothing at all for me comes close !!

I guess that's why I waste half of my time here everyday !! [8D]:D

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

I chase my wife around the house 3 or 4 times a week, That's about the only thing that tops bowhunting whitetails in my book. (she has a white tail too I guess)!

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

Nope nothing better.

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

only thing better then bow hunting is spring gobbler hunting.

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

The only thing I like better is going to my two Daughters basketball games. It is nice when they play after dark doing bow season.;)

I like salmon fishing the most but I also fish for walleyes , perch , northern pike , it's all good.
Fishing is just a passtime while waiting for bowhunting whitetails!:)

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

I love to bowhunt but it takes a close second to team roping. Sorry guys.[:o]

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

I'd say bowhunting whitetails wins out as top pursuit of mine. Chasing smallmouths and predator hunting are right up there too. The rest of my activities fall in the cracks.

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

From April through June I'm obsessed with surf fishing for stripers. Right about now the rods start gathering dust in favor of shooting the bow, tending the stealth cam, glassin fields, etc. It'll stay that way until after shed hunting and scouting next March. Striper fishing is a close second. Well, not that close. ;)

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

Fly fishing has to be my second favorite thing to do. Just got back from a week long trip to Decorah and man was it fun. Last day on a fly that I made I caught a 17in brown. But bowhunting still tops fly fishing I love it.

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

Whitetail deer with a bow? Nothing else comes close. There is too much scouting, practice, and prep work for me to do much of anything else.

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

I also belong to a bass club. from feb through aug one or two sat a month i am out there! I love the competition. But come "sept" this old boy will be in the woods;) My son asked me just the other day dad if you had to choos which one would you rather do hunt or fish? I told him son if it came right down to it, Well we would be getting ride of that $25.000.00 bass boat and keeping that $1000.00 bow! Nothing compairs to bowhunting;)

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

I have bow hunted almost everyday of my life, the rest have been wasted. ;)

I spent almost all of my money on archery gear, the rest I wasted. :)

vaporbowhunter, I spent a couple of days in Decorah myself this spring. We did alright but the high water made things difficult.

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

In my mind Nothing and I repeat Nothing compares to bowhunting for whitetails. Well maybe bowhunting for elk, Wont find out about that this year but I probably will next year.

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

I can't think of any thing else I would rather do in my free time then hunt whitetails. And by hunting, I mean practicing shooting my bow, scouting, checking the trail cam, getting in shape to hunt. Most everything I do in my free time, is somehow connected to hunting whitetails!!! YOU GOTTA LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

Hunting! and Fishing! and Hunting!

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

NOTHING BETTER....unless it's more bowhunting.

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

Bow hunting is where it is at for me. I do enjoy fishing and bird hunting, and dog training, but those are things to pass time until October comes back around.

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

The only thing better than bow hunting would be being able to bow hunt more. It is definitely my favorite past time.

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

as for hunting, bowhunting is the best !

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

I would have to say that it is a close tie between bow hunting, and dirt track racing. I raced for about 6 years, but 2 years ago I sold all of my racing stuff, car, trailer and all of the tools that I had bought during the 6 years. I would have to say that that was the dumbest things I have ever done. Now I just sit in the stands and watch, and mope.:(

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

Treestand bowhunting whitetails is tops. But do love to bowfish in the off season.

Good Luck!

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

The bike rally in Sturgis tops everything.

After that it's all about the bow. :)

RE: Is there anything as good?
 

Currently I'm a bow shooter. I'm not pulling a legal weight yet. I LOVE spring turkey hunting . Deer and and elk are a close 2nd. I'm hoping to be legal this year and hunt deer with my bow. I have no desire to hunt bow for turkey. It was so hard with a shotgun I can't image being non wiggly and drawing my bow ;)
