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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
